+## Using custom models and objectives
+To explore the effects of other objectives and models, you need to modify the `src/objective/objective.py` and 
+`src/objective/parametric_function.py` files.
+If you need to change the sampling process, e.g. the initial samples, you need to modify the `src/sampling/sampler.py` 
+file.
