mlr_acqfunctions_ei {mlr3mbo}

Acquisition Function Expected Improvement

Description

Expected Improvement.

Dictionary

This AcqFunction can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_acqfunctions or with the associated sugar function acqf():

mlr_acqfunctions$get("ei")
acqf("ei")

Super classes

bbotk::Objective -> mlr3mbo::AcqFunction -> AcqFunctionEI

Public fields

y_best

(numeric(1))
Best objective function value observed so far. In the case of maximization, this already includes the necessary change of sign.

Methods

Arguments

surrogate

(NULL | SurrogateLearner).

Method update()

Updates acquisition function and sets y_best.

Usage

AcqFunctionEI$update()

Method clone()
