<p>The NAG Library for Java, from the Numerical Algorithms Group, has been updated with over 100 routines further increasing its numerical capabilities for Java application developers.</p><p>At this, its second release the NAG Library for Java enables the calling of precisely 1,784 mathematical and statistical routines to aid complex computation and now features enhanced error reporting enabling increased precision from computation results. Release 2 of the NAG Library for Java also provides additional abstract classes for callback functions alongside a host of new numerical functionality.</p><p>New functionality at Release 2 of the NAG Library for JavaMulti-start (global) optimizationNon-negative least squares (local optimization)Nearest Correlation MatrixInhomogeneous Time SeriesGaussian Mixture ModelConfluent Hypergeometric Function (1F1)Brownian Bridge &amp; random fieldsBest subsetsReal sparse eigenproblemsMatrix FunctionsTwo stage spline approximationBackground</p><p>Software developers writing in the popular Java language that require accurate and reliable numerical functionality are faced with a dilemma; write numerical routines yourself or source elsewhere? The NAG Library for Java saves those working in the environment crucial development time by providing world-class quality, robust, stringently tested and fully documented numerical code in one cost effective numerical library. Why waste time writing arduous routines when the work has been done for you?</p><p><a href="http://www.sdtimes.com/NAG_LIBRARY_FOR_JAVA_UPDATED_TO_PROVIDE_MORE_NUMERICAL_ROUTINES_AND_IMPROVED_ERROR_CHECKING/By_SD_Times_Newswire/68704">Keep reading...</a></p>
