Then the posterior distribution is the updated prior distribution given the sample information. The posterior probability density function is proportional to observed likelihood function × prior ...

The NLPQN subroutine uses (dual) quasi-Newton optimization techniques, and it is one of the two subroutines available that can solve problems with nonlinear constraints. These techniques work well for ...

The program loads it at the start and after each call to the digit conversion subroutine, there is an increment to point to the next character.
