COOOL：CWP面向对象最优化库（CWP Object Oriented Optimization Library） COOOL是C++类的一个集合

Statics.cc is a demo to illustrate how the communication between the 
COOOL library and a user-written objective function computation 
code is accomplished.

In this example we maximize the stacking power objective function 
to find the optimum set of surface consistent residual statics. The data
set is in the file "data" and in this simple problem is 
formed by only 5 CMP gathers. The "xcor" file contains the necessary
crosscorrelation traces to compute the stacking power. The 
"optimum" statics for such a small data set are not significant.
The objective of this example is to illustrate 
how the COOOL library works.

The following codes are provided:

OPTIMA:		Unix shell to run the code.

optima.cc:	c++ code that performs the optimization
		using the conjugate gradient object of the 
		COOOL library. The required derivatives of the
		objective function are computed numerically 
		by the library. This code also illustrates how 
		to use the "expect" mechanism for the 
		communication of two Unix processes (the library and
		the objective function computation code).

statics.cc:	c++ (but didn't have to be c++) code that accepts
		a set of residual statics parameters from stdin 
		and outputs the computed stacking power to stdout.

Give it a try. Report any bugs and suggestions to Lydia Deng 
([e-mail]), Wences Gouveia 
([e-mail]) and John Scales 
([e-mail]). 

reminder: To make the code easier we used the cwp and su libraries, as specified 
	  in the Makefile. To run this demo you must have this libraries installed
	  in your system.
