From the (beautifully written) draft PEP:
"Different optimization algorithms can inherit from Optimizer, with each of the subclasses overriding the __next__ method ..." I'm unclear re. whether this approach would allow something like a parallel implementation of Nelder-Mead. Phillip On Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 7:05 PM, Andrew Nelson <andyfaff@gmail.com> wrote:
Scott Sievert and I have put a lot of work into preparing a draft of the PEP for class based scalar minimizers:
https://github.com/andyfaff/scipy/blob/a52bb4f9029389da3ab072c92c609d 71ed6943c6/PEP/1-Optimizer.rst
where we've tried to address comments already made in this thread, and from the WIP github PR. Scott and I look forward to hearing any comments/concerns/feedback about the proposal. We can field any questions and address them in an updated PEP, as well as on here.
Andrew.
p.s. Ralf/Pauli, could we add the PEP to a scipy/PEP, or scipy/scipep, repo? How should we discuss such this, and any further PEP? Should we have a scipep process, or shall we keep things simple?
