SNOBFIT¶

class SNOBFIT(maxiter=1000, maxfail=10, maxmp=None, verbose=False)[source]¶

Bases: qiskit.aqua.components.optimizers.optimizer.Optimizer

Stable Noisy Optimization by Branch and FIT algorithm.

SnobFit is used for the optimization of derivative-free, noisy objective functions providing robust and fast solutions of problems with continuous variables varying within bound.

Uses skquant.opt installed with pip install scikit-quant. For further detail, please refer to https://github.com/scikit-quant/scikit-quant and https://qat4chem.lbl.gov/software.

Parameters

maxiter (int) – Maximum number of function evaluations.
maxmp (Optional[int]) – Maximum number of model points requested for the local fit. Default = 2 * number of parameters + 6 set to this value when None.
maxfail (int) – Maximum number of failures to improve the solution. Stops the algorithm after maxfail is reached.
verbose (bool) – Provide verbose (debugging) output.

Raises

MissingOptionalLibraryError – scikit-quant or SQSnobFit not installed

Methods

`get_support_level`	Returns support level dictionary.
`gradient_num_diff`	We compute the gradient with the numeric differentiation in the parallel way, around the point x_center.
`optimize`	Runs the optimization.
`print_options`	Print algorithm-specific options.
`set_max_evals_grouped`	Set max evals grouped
`set_options`	Sets or updates values in the options dictionary.
`wrap_function`	Wrap the function to implicitly inject the args at the call of the function.
