NOTE: StochOPy has been implemented in the frame of my Ph. D. thesis. If you find any error or bug, or if you have any suggestion, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Features

StochOPy provides routines for sampling of a model parameter space:

  • Pure Monte-Carlo

  • Metropolis-Hastings algorithm

  • Hamiltonian (Hybrid) Monte-Carlo [1,2]

or optimization of an objective function:

  • Differential Evolution [3]

  • Particle Swarm Optimization [4,5]

  • Competitive Particle Swarm Optimization [6]

  • Covariance Matrix Adaptation - Evolution Strategy [7]

Installation

The recommended way to install StochOPy is through pip (internet required):

pip install stochopy

Otherwise, download and extract the package, then run:

python setup.py install

Usage

First, import StochOPy and define an objective function (here Rosenbrock):

import numpy as np
from stochopy import MonteCarlo, Evolutionary

f = lambda x: 100*np.sum((x[1:]-x[:-1]**2)**2)+np.sum((1-x[:-1])**2)

You can define the search space boundaries if necessary:

n_dim = 2
lower = np.full(n_dim, -5.12)
upper = np.full(n_dim, 5.12)

Initialize the Monte-Carlo sampler:

max_iter = 1000
mc = MonteCarlo(f, lower = lower, upper = upper, max_iter = max_iter)

Now, you can start sampling with the simple method ‘sample’:

mc.sample(sampler = "hamiltonian", stepsize = 0.005, n_leap = 20, xstart = [ 2., 2. ])

Note that sampler can be set to “pure” or “hastings” too. The models sampled and their corresponding energies are stored in:

print(mc.models)
print(mc.energy)

Optimization is just as easy:

n_dim = 10
lower = np.full(n_dim, -5.12)
upper = np.full(n_dim, 5.12)
popsize = 4 + np.floor(3.*np.log(n_dim))
ea = Evolutionary(f, lower = lower, upper = upper, popsize = popsize, max_iter = max_iter)
xopt, gfit = ea.optimize(solver = "cmaes")
print(xopt)
print(gfit)
