Python pacakge to flatten and fold parameter data structures.
Project description
Description.
This is a library (very much still in development) intended to make sensitivity analysis easier for optimization problems. The core functionality consists of tools for “folding” and “flattening” collections of parameters – i.e., for converting data structures of constrained parameters to and from vectors of unconstrained parameters.
For background and motivation, see the following papers:
