expo_decay()
can be used to increase or decrease a function exponentially
over iterations. This can be used to dynamically set parameters for
acquisition functions as iterations of Bayesian optimization proceed.
expo_decay(iter, start_val, limit_val, slope = 1/5)
iter | An integer for the current iteration number. |
---|---|
start_val | The number returned for the first iteration. |
limit_val | The number that the process converges to over iterations. |
slope | A coefficient for the exponent to control the rate of decay. The sign of the slope controls the direction of decay. |
A single numeric value.
Note that, when used with the acquisition functions in tune()
, a wrapper
would be required since only the first argument would be evaluated during
tuning.
