Product name: IMSL Fortran Library V5.0

Initial Price: Contact Visual Numerics

Brief product description:

The IMSL Fortran Library integrates the world-renowned IMSL F90 library and parallel processing features with the IMSL FORTRAN 77 mathematics and statistics library into a single, cohesive package. The IMSL Fortran Library is a collection of more than 1,000 mathematical and statistical analysis functions written in Fortran that programmers can embed directly into their applications. The Library's platform-optimized functions, which are the most accurate and reliable on the market, support distributed computing environments or run on a stand-alone workstation.

New Features for the IMSL Fortran Library V5.0: One Cohesive Package All F77, F90 and parallel processing features are now contained within a single IMSL Fortran Library package Faster and Easier to Use Interface Modules The latest Fortran protocol is used throughout to include optional arguments, allowing for greater control and faster, simpler code development. Simple and flexible interface to the library routines speeds programming and simplifies documentation Short list of required arguments while also providing full depth and control of optional arguments New, More Robust Non-linear Optimization New nonlinearly constrained optimization routine. New Time-series Algorithms These algorithms are part of the TIMe Series Analysis and Control (TIMSAC) package developed by the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (ISM) in Japan. Time series analysis is heavily used in many fields, including economics, financial engineering, climate analysis, data mining, and many more. MAX_ARMA Exact maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters in a univariate Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) time series model. Useful in developing predictive models for complex time series data. Automatic Model Selection Fitting These routines enables model fitting of time series data, such as stock prices or process data, to be fitted automatically. This automatic fitting feature thus allows model fitting to be embedded in other processes Univariate and multi-variate versions available Akaike's Information Criterion or Final Prediction Error methodologies available Bayesian Seasonal adjustment for time series data. Used in areas such as economics, financial engineering, climate studies, retail sales data mining and forecasting, to name just a few. New Quasi Monte-Carlo routine for high-dimensional integration Allows numerical approximation of integrals over a very high dimensional cube. Can be used by financial engineers to evaluate the risk of pools of mortgages requiring integration over a 360-degree cube, for example. New Faure sequence routine Computes a low-discrepancy sequence, which is used in Quasi Monte-Carlo analysis. New GARCH routine Used to model time series data, such as the price of oil or interest rates. Expanded SMP/OpenMP support for parallel processing environments. Computationally intensive algorithms in the areas of linear systems and matrix manipulation, eigensystem analysis, and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) will leverage SMP capabilities on a variety of systems.
