⚠️There's a newer version (1.14.2) of this package.Take me there.

ParamHelpers (version 1.10)

Helpers for Parameters in Black-Box Optimization, Tuning and Machine Learning

Description

Functions for parameter descriptions and operations in black-box optimization, tuning and machine learning. Parameters can be described (type, constraints, defaults, etc.), combined to parameter sets and can in general be programmed on. A useful OptPath object (archive) to log function evaluations is also provided.
