The IMSL Numerical Libraries: Application Areas

Major corporations from a broad range of industries have invoked the IMSL Numerical Libraries for various applications. Sample application areas for algorithm functionality include:

  • Risk management and portfolio optimization and forecasting in finance and insurance
  • Manufacturing yield analysis, process control
  • R&D analytical tools for development
  • Bioinformatics analysis
  • Customer and market Visual Data Analysis
  • Extending analysis and visualization capabilities for ISVs – Business Intelligence, databases, supply chain, etc.

Algorithms are used specifically as follows:

  • Optimization:  Optimization algorithms are widely used to optimize profits, portfolio returns, risk-adjusted returns, product design, factory cost structure, and more
  • Radial Basis Function (Multi-Dimensional Curve Fitting) takes data in multiple dimensions and fits curves to it to allow for interpolation of data.  Heavily used in R&D and finance. 
  • B-Splines Package (Curve Fitting) fits data to a curve.  B-splines provide for a high degree of customization of how the curves are fit.  Heavily used in R&D and Finance. 
  • Cluster Analysis: K-Means is a data mining algorithm that helps discover relationships between data, particularly in large data sets. 
  • Contour Plot:  Heavily used chart type to view 3-D data
  • Box Plot:  Chart type used in statistics to visualize the spread of data and compare multiple data set
