Dr. Allaire,
HERE ARE SOME GRAPHICAL PRESENTATIONS.
WE WILL DISCUSS THEM FURTHER WHEN I GET BACK.
I HAVE THE PARAMETERS FOR EACH OF THE SIMULATIONS BUT HAVE NOT INCLUDED THEM ON THE WEBSITE HERE.
These are just to show that the algorithm is working to an extent (there are still a few bugs with the objective function).
I hope your vacation was good.
See you on the 20th,
Anton
