• Optimized matrix trace computation (was too memory-hungry for large matrices)
• Removed positive bias in amoeba optimization

@vfonov thoughts on this?

[vfonov]

it's the same change as BIC-MNI/mni_autoreg@2166db5
it's another copy of amoeba optimization code, I don't know which tool actually uses this one

[vfonov]

I had to make configuration parameter to make sure we can reproduce old results: BIC-MNI/mni_autoreg@b2440b2

[gdevenyi]

Okay, so we can break out 57386e3 to merge seperately?

[vfonov]

would be good to find out if this algorithm actually is used in something important.

[gdevenyi]

Good question. Clearly the original author came across it for some application.

[vfonov]

then we might have to make another compilation switch to reproduce the old behaviour if needed.

[gdevenyi]

I see your examples you linked. I'll try and mirror a port of it
