// Create CostFunctions as needed by the least squares framework with jacobians
// computed via numeric (a.k.a. finite) differentiation. For more details see
// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation.
//
// To get an numerically differentiated cost function, you must define
// a class with a operator() (a functor) that computes the residuals.
//
// The function must write the computed value in the last argument
// (the only non-const one) and return true to indicate success.
// Please see cost_function.h for details on how the return value
// maybe used to impose simple constraints on the parameter block.
//
// For example, consider a scalar error e = k - x'y, where both x and y are
// two-dimensional column vector parameters, the prime sign indicates
// transposition, and k is a constant. The form of this error, which is the
// difference between a constant and an expression, is a common pattern in least
// squares problems. For example, the value x'y might be the model expectation
// for a series of measurements, where there is an instance of the cost function
// for each measurement k.
//
// The actual cost added to the total problem is e^2, or (k - x'k)^2; however,
// the squaring is implicitly done by the optimization framework.
//
// To write an numerically-differentiable cost function for the above model, first
// define the object
//
//   class MyScalarCostFunctor {
//     MyScalarCostFunctor(double k): k_(k) {}
//
//     bool operator()(const double* const x,
//                     const double* const y,
//                     double* residuals) const {
//       residuals[0] = k_ - x[0] * y[0] + x[1] * y[1];
//       return true;
//     }
//
//    private:
//     double k_;
//   };
//
// Note that in the declaration of operator() the input parameters x
// and y come first, and are passed as const pointers to arrays of
// doubles. If there were three input parameters, then the third input
// parameter would come after y. The output is always the last
// parameter, and is also a pointer to an array. In the example above,
// the residual is a scalar, so only residuals[0] is set.
//
// Then given this class definition, the numerically differentiated
// cost function with central differences used for computing the
// derivative can be constructed as follows.
//
//   CostFunction* cost_function
//       = new NumericDiffCostFunction<MyScalarCostFunctor, CENTRAL, 1, 2, 2>(
//           new MyScalarCostFunctor(1.0));                    ^     ^  ^  ^
//                                                             |     |  |  |
//                                 Finite Differencing Scheme -+     |  |  |
//                                 Dimension of residual ------------+  |  |
//                                 Dimension of x ----------------------+  |
//                                 Dimension of y -------------------------+
//
// In this example, there is usually an instance for each measurement of k.
//
// In the instantiation above, the template parameters following
// "MyScalarCostFunctor", "1, 2, 2", describe the functor as computing
// a 1-dimensional output from two arguments, both 2-dimensional.
//
// The framework can currently accommodate cost functions of up to 10
// independent variables, and there is no limit on the dimensionality
// of each of them.
//
// The central difference method is considerably more accurate at the cost of
// twice as many function evaluations than forward difference. Consider using
// central differences begin with, and only after that works, trying forward
// difference to improve performance.
//
// TODO(sameeragarwal): Add support for dynamic number of residuals.
//
// WARNING #1: A common beginner's error when first using
// NumericDiffCostFunction is to get the sizing wrong. In particular,
// there is a tendency to set the template parameters to (dimension of
// residual, number of parameters) instead of passing a dimension
// parameter for *every parameter*. In the example above, that would
// be <MyScalarCostFunctor, 1, 2>, which is missing the last '2'
// argument. Please be careful when setting the size parameters.
//
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//
// ALTERNATE INTERFACE
//
// For a variety of reason, including compatibility with legacy code,
// NumericDiffCostFunction can also take CostFunction objects as
// input. The following describes how.
//
// To get a numerically differentiated cost function, define a
// subclass of CostFunction such that the Evaluate() function ignores
// the jacobian parameter. The numeric differentiation wrapper will
// fill in the jacobian parameter if necessary by repeatedly calling
// the Evaluate() function with small changes to the appropriate
// parameters, and computing the slope. For performance, the numeric
// differentiation wrapper class is templated on the concrete cost
// function, even though it could be implemented only in terms of the
// virtual CostFunction interface.
//
// The numerically differentiated version of a cost function for a cost function
// can be constructed as follows:
//
//   CostFunction* cost_function
//       = new NumericDiffCostFunction<MyCostFunction, CENTRAL, 1, 4, 8>(
//           new MyCostFunction(...), TAKE_OWNERSHIP);
//
// where MyCostFunction has 1 residual and 2 parameter blocks with sizes 4 and 8
// respectively. Look at the tests for a more detailed example.
//
// TODO(keir): Characterize accuracy; mention pitfalls; provide alternatives.
