Running the code

Three separate codes are available: maxent-julia for the Julia implementation, maxent-matlab for the MATLAB implementation, and maxent-cpp for the C++ implementation.

maxent-julia: the program is controlled by the main.jl function. This is the only function that must be setup by the user. To execute the code, setup the problem parameters in main.jl (further instructions are given there) and run it.

maxent-matlab: the program is controlled by the main.m function. This is the only function that must be setup by the user. To execute the code, setup the problem parameters in main.m (further instructions are given there) and run it.

maxent-cpp: the program is controlled by the main.cpp function. This is the only function that must be setup by the user. Setup the problem parameters in main.cpp (further instructions are given there). On the top directory of maxent-cpp create a folder named “bin". Open a terminal and, at the top directory of maxent-cpp, type make to build an executable named “maxent-cpp" that will appear in the folder “bin". Go inside the folder “bin" and execute “maxent-cpp" by typing ./maxent-cpp at the terminal.
