kandi X-RAY | mystic Summary

mystic is a Python library. mystic has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available and it has high support. However mystic has a Non-SPDX License. You can install using 'pip install mystic' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.

The `mystic` framework provides a collection of optimization algorithms and tools that allows the user to more robustly (and easily) solve hard optimization problems. All optimization algorithms included in `mystic` provide workflow at the fitting layer, not just access to the algorithms as function calls. `mystic` gives the user fine-grained power to both monitor and steer optimizations as the fit processes are running. Optimizers can advance one iteration with `Step`, or run to completion with `Solve`. Users can customize optimizer stop conditions, where both compound and user-provided conditions may be used. Optimizers can save state, can be reconfigured dynamically, and can be restarted from a saved solver or from a results file. All solvers can also leverage parallel computing, either within each iteration or as an ensemble of solvers. Where possible, `mystic` optimizers share a common interface, and thus can be easily swapped without the user having to write any new code. `mystic` solvers all conform to a solver API, thus also have common method calls to configure and launch an optimization job. For more details, see `mystic.abstract_solver`. The API also makes it easy to bind a favorite 3rd party solver into the `mystic` framework. Optimization algorithms in `mystic` can accept parameter constraints, either in the form of penaties (which "penalize" regions of solution space that violate the constraints), or as constraints (which "constrain" the solver to only search in regions of solution space where the constraints are respected), or both. `mystic` provides a large selection of constraints, including probabistic and dimensionally reducing constraints. By providing a robust interface designed to enable the user to easily configure and control solvers, `mystic` greatly reduces the barrier to solving hard optimization problems. `mystic` is in active development, so any user feedback, bug reports, comments, or suggestions are highly appreciated.

            Where are the using statements/directives in .NET 6
            Asked 2022-Mar-15 at 17:03

            I got up and running with Visual Studio 2022 Preview for a couple of days now.

            Got the first shock, there is no Startup.cs. Thats ok, a bit of reading, I know Startup is removed.

            Today got another slap. I see no using statements. Here it is.

            I just created a brand new .NET 6 web app and as I hover over the WebApplication class, I realized it stays in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder namespace. And the generated Program.cs class looks like this.

            So where is the using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder; statement?

            Whats the magic? Why is .net becoming mystical by the day?

            The full Program.cs file is as follows.

            C# 10.0 introduces a new feature called global using directive (global using ;) which allows to specify namespaces to be implicitly imported in all files in the compilation. .NET 6 RC1 has this feature enabled by default in new project templates (see enable property in your .csproj).

            For Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web next namespaces should be implicitly imported (plus the ones from Microsoft.NET.Sdk):

            • System.Net.Http.Json
            • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder
            • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting
            • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http
            • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing
            • Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
            • Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
            • Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting
            • Microsoft.Extensions.Logging

            To address your questions in comment:

            The element you are trying to access and to get it's text is initially out of the visible view. You have first to scroll that element into the view.
            Also, since you are working in headless mode you should set the window size. The default window size in headless mode is much smaller than we normally use.
            And you should use expected conditions explicit waits to access the elements only when they are ready for that.
            This should work better:

            constrain f(x) with g(x) when minimizing f(x) in mystic?
            Asked 2022-Feb-22 at 00:04

            Hi I am new to mystic so I apologize if I ask similar questions that have been answered before.

            Say I have an input x (a list of length n), and a function f(x) that will map the input to a m-dimensional output space. I also have a m-dimensional constraint list that also depends on the input x (say it is g(x)), and I want to make sure the output is less than the constraint for each element of the m-dimensional list. How should I specify this in mystic?

            Reading provider returns empty list in Riverpod
            Asked 2022-Jan-21 at 20:10

            I have 2 functions defined in my provider file that do similar things ... filter a product list to return products by category name (getByCatName) and by brand name (getByBrandName). I invoke both functions by making similar ref.read calls to the controller file. The catList works as desired by returning the list of products for category clicked. However, the brand name function is returning empty list probably because the brand parameter is not getting passed to the getByBrandName() function. Below are snippets of code that may be helpful to get your help. I have spent 3 days checking and rechecking my code with online research but no luck. I am thinking the filter for products in categories works because I am passing arguments via a ModalRoute (...) navigation routine to desired screen. However, for brand I am not using a navigation routing as it is not applicable here. BrandContent Screen:

            I solved this issue by adding a ref.read() statement to pull the brand clicked from the navRailProvider that controls navigation and displays corresponding brand page.

            I'm the mystic author. Penalty functions are essentially soft constraints, so they can be violated. When they are, they will add a penalty to the cost. If you want to restrict the input values explicitly, then you want a hard constraint... given with the constraints keyword. So, add the following to ensure that the candidate solutions are always chosen from the positive orthant (i.e. from within your chosen bounds).
