OptimizerBatch: Batch Optimizer

In bbotk: Black-Box Optimization Toolkit

Batch Optimizer

Description

Abstract OptimizerBatch class that implements the base functionality each OptimizerBatch subclass must provide. A OptimizerBatch object describes the optimization strategy. A OptimizerBatch object must write its result to the ⁠$assign_result()⁠ method of the OptimInstance at the end in order to store the best point and its estimated performance vector.

Progress Bars

⁠$optimize()⁠ supports progress bars via the package progressr combined with a Terminator. Simply wrap the function in progressr::with_progress() to enable them. We recommend to use package progress as backend; enable with progressr::handlers("progress").
