GridSamplingGenerator

class optimas.generators.GridSamplingGenerator(varying_parameters, objectives, n_steps, analyzed_parameters=None)

Sample an n-dimensional space with a uniform grid.

This generator samples the given objectives in a uniform grid of n dimensions, where n is the number of varying_parameters. Along each direction \(i\) (i.e., along each varying parameter), the space is divided in \(n_\mathrm{steps,i}\) evenly spaced steps, resulting in a total number of evaluations \(\prod_i n_\mathrm{steps,i}\).

Parameters:

varying_parameterslist of VaryingParameter

List of input parameters to vary.

objectiveslist of Objective

List of optimization objectives.

n_stepslist of int

Number of grid steps along each direction.

analyzed_parameterslist of Parameter, optional

List of parameters to analyze at each trial, but which are not optimization objectives. By default None.
