MIXSQPX: A Jax-compatible interface to the mixSQP algorithm

This package provides a jax-compatible interface to the mixSQP algorithm described in,

Kim, Y., Carbonetto, P., Stephens, M., & Anitescu, M. (2020). A Fast Algorithm for Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Mixture Proportions Using Sequential Quadratic Programming. Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 29(2), 261–273.

The implementation of the mixSQP algorithm in this package was ported from the R implementation by the authors of this paper which uses the Rarmadillo package as an interface to the Armadillo C++ library.

This package (misxqpx) provides a function mixsolve, which can can be transformed with Jax transformations such as jit.
