stochopy

License Stars Pyversions Version Downloads Code style: black Codacy Badge Codecov Build Docs DOI

stochopy provides functions for sampling or optimizing objective functions with or without constraints. Its API is directly inspired by scipy's own optimization submodule which should make the switch from one module to another straightforward.

sample-pso

Optimization of 2D multimodal function Styblinski-Tang using PSO.

Features

Sampling algorithms:

  • Hamiltonian (Hybrid) Monte-Carlo (HMC),
  • Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (McMC).

Stochastic optimizers:

  • Competitive Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO),
  • Covariance Matrix Adaptation - Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES),
  • Differential Evolution (DE),
  • Neighborhood Algorithm (NA),
  • Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO),
  • VD-CMA.

Parallel backends:

Installation

The recommended way to install stochopy and all its dependencies is through the Python Package Index:

pip install stochopy --user

Otherwise, clone and extract the package, then run from the package location:

pip install . --user

To test the integrity of the installed package, check out this repository and run:

pytest

Documentation

Refer to the online documentation for detailed description of the API and examples.

Alternatively, the documentation can be built using Sphinx:

pip install -r doc/requirements.txt
sphinx-build -b html doc/source doc/build

Usage

Given an optimization problem defined by an objective function and a feasible space:

import numpy as np

def rosenbrock(x):
   x = np.asarray(x)
   sum1 = ((x[1:] - x[:-1] ** 2) ** 2).sum()
   sum2 = np.square(1.0 - x[:-1]).sum()
   return 100.0 * sum1 + sum2

bounds = [[-5.12, 5.12], [-5.12, 5.12]]  # The number of variables to optimize is len(bounds)

The optimal solution can be found following:

from stochopy.optimize import minimize

x = minimize(rosenbrock, bounds, method="cmaes", options={"maxiter": 100, "popsize": 10, "seed": 0})

minimize returns a dictionary that contains the results of the optimization:

    fun: 3.862267657514075e-09
message: 'best solution value is lower than ftol'
   nfev: 490
    nit: 49
 status: 1
success: True
      x: array([0.99997096, 0.99993643])
