178 Comparison of Direct Search Strategies for Parameter Optimization<br />

Besides their considerable cost in programming <strong>and</strong> computation time, numerical<br />

strategy comparisons entail further di culties. The e ectiveness of a method can be<br />

strongly in uenced by small programming details. A number of methods were not fully<br />

worked out by their originators <strong>and</strong> require heuristic rules to be introduced before they can<br />

be applied. The way in which this degree of freedom is exercised to de ne the procedure<br />

depends on the skill <strong>and</strong> experience of the programmer, which leads to large discrepancies<br />

between the results of investigations <strong>and</strong> the judgements of di erent authors on one <strong>and</strong><br />

the same strategy.<br />

We have therefore, as far as possible, used already published programs (FORTRAN<br />

or ALGOL) for the algorithms or parts of them under study:<br />
