ScipyPowell#

class ScipyPowell[source]#

Bases: Optimizer

An optimizer that uses Powell’s conjugate direction method from SciPy.

This class serves as a wrapper for the scipy.optimize.minimize function, specifically configured to use the ‘Powell’ method. Powell’s method is a conjugate direction algorithm that does not require the computation of gradients, making it suitable for objective functions where derivatives are not available or are difficult to compute.

Methods

minimize(target, params)

Minimizes a target function using Powell's method.
