A Python package for modular Bayesian optimization.

This package provides methods for performing optimization of a possibly noise-corrupted function f. In particular this package allows us to place a prior on the possible behavior of f and select points in order to gather information about the function and its maximum.

The easiest way to install this package is by running

pip install -r https://github.com/mwhoffman/pybo/raw/master/requirements.txt
pip install git+https://github.com/mwhoffman/pybo.git

The first line installs any dependencies of the package and the second line installs the package itself. Alternatively the repository can be cloned directly in order to make any local modifications to the code. In this case the dependencies can easily be installed by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

from the main directory. The package itself can be installed by running python setup.py or by symlinking the directory into somewhere on the PYTHONPATH. Once the package is installed the included demos can be run directly via python. For example, by running

python -m pybo.demos.beginner
