SciPy

A set of interoperable methods for SciPy’s optimizer package are available in skquant.interop.scipy. These methods follow the SciPy convention, allowing them to be passed to its minimize function, such that the skquant optimmizers can be used as drop-in replacements in SciPy-based codes

Example usage:

from skquant.interop.scipy import imfil
from scipy.optimize import minimize

x0 = np.array([0.5, 0.5])
bounds = np.array([[-1, 1], [-1, 1]], dtype=float)
budget = 40

result = minimize(your_objective, x0, method=imfil,
                  bounds=bounds, options={'budget' : budget})

The returned result is a scipy.optimize.OptimizeResult object and follows the same conventions for all return parameters that make sense. Available component classes are imfil, snobfit, and pybobyqa.
