I was perusing the web site and cam across the adjoint code discussion
in the manual.
While showing examples for a small number of independent variables is good
for illustrating the point, it should be noted that for a function of a
small number of independent
variables it is better to use forward mode AD. Classes are included for
this. The
inverse of the cumulative distribution of the beta function is a good
example which shows
how to use forward model AD combined with implicit differentiation to
calculate the
derivatvies up to order 3 for an implicitly defined function.
