Stochastic optimisers

Deterministic optimisers - not for paper

• Ee do a notebook, but no statistical tests. Instead, write good value-based unit tests: start from a known position, check that you take the correct step.
• Adam
• Gradient descent done Added gradient descent notebook, to be converted to numerical unit test. #37
• irpropmin
• Nelder-mead

Don't forget the optimisers

[ben18785]

You're right: you own those :)

• optimisers @MichaelClerx

(I was thinking we'd cross that bridge after we'd got the samplers sorted?)

[martinjrobins]

stupid question, how do you run the existing notebooks, I'm running the hario bardenet one and get the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pints.functionaltests'

were are pints.functionaltests located?
