  • Automatic differentiation
    • Supply functions and constraints as lambda expressions and have gradients computed automatically.
    • Backward differentiation with common sub-expression elimination for optimal performance.
    • Extensible with built-in support for methods of System.Math and most elementary and special functions in the library.
  • Orthogonal polynomials Chebyshev, Gegenbauer, Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre polynomials and sequences.
  • Stepwise regression Automatic variable selection for linear regression.
  • Contingency tables Both 2x2 and RxC tables are supported.
  • Improved SQL Server support Easier deployment.
