I found this article useful.
What I was really hoping for was a layman's translation of the maths on wikipedia [ie. how to implement]. But this is a good jumping off point for figuring out which black box to use.
- blumkvist 11y agoSo you want to do math without knowing how to do math?
- stellographer 11y agoI'm just saying it takes about 30 seconds to explain the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm in plain english, and the wikipedia article is almost intentionally esoteric on the matter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis–Hastings_algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis–Hastings_algorithm Meanwhile the much more complex Firefly algorithm is adequately explained in just 3 sentences that are obvious to understand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_algorithm
- profinger 11y agoThis is what I was thinking as well! The explanation is good but it's the actual steps of the algorithm that are the difficult part!
