line 62: exp_imp[sigma == 0.0] = 0.0 I'm afraid it never samples points more than once, since it estimated already-sampled-points as points with variance zero, and no expected improvement. IMHO that's wrong. Variance of…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the bayesian_optimization.py optimizer in this library assumes that the sampled points are exact, ie their variance is zero. It doesn't seem to re-sample existing points. This will…
Which algorithm would you recommend when the objective function is noisy (and nondeterministic)? For example the objective function is the "score" of a particular stochastic simulation, which can be started with varied…
