Statistical Applications of the Complex-Step Method of Numerical Differentiation.

The complex-step method of numerical differentiation is described. This procedure is used to derive a numerical approximation to the first derivative of a function while avoiding the round-off error that characterizes standard finite difference approximations. An extension of the method allows for...
