AcqOptimizerRandomSearch: Random Search Acquisition Function Optimizer

In mlr3mbo: Flexible Bayesian Optimization

Random Search Acquisition Function Optimizer

Description

Random search acquisition function optimizer. By default, it samples 100 * D^2 random points in the search space, where D is the dimension of the search space. The point with the highest acquisition value is returned.

Parameters

n_evals

integer(1)
Number of random points to sample. Default is 100 * D^2, where D is the dimension of the search space.

Super class

mlr3mbo::AcqOptimizer -> AcqOptimizerRandomSearch

Active bindings

print_id

(character)
Id used when printing.
