Distributions¶
-
class
optuna.distributions.
UniformDistribution
(low, high)[source]¶ A uniform distribution in the linear domain.
This object is instantiated by
suggest_uniform()
, and passed tosamplers
in general.-
low
¶ Lower endpoint of the range of the distribution.
low
is included in the range.
-
high
¶ Upper endpoint of the range of the distribution.
high
is excluded from the range.

LogUniformDistribution
(low, high)[source]¶ A uniform distribution in the log domain.
This object is instantiated by

CategoricalDistribution
(choices)[source]¶ A categorical distribution.
This object is instantiated by
suggest_categorical()
, and passed tosamplers
in general.Parameters: choices – Parameter value candidates. Note
Not all types are guaranteed to be compatible with all storages. It is recommended to restrict the types of the choices to
None
,bool
, :class”int,float
andstr

optuna.distributions.
distribution_to_json
(dist)[source]¶ Serialize a distribution to JSON format.
Parameters: dist – A distribution to be serialized. Returns: A JSON string of a given distribution.
-
optuna.distributions.
json_to_distribution
(json_str)[source]¶ Deserialize a distribution in JSON format.
Parameters: json_str – A JSON-serialized distribution. Returns: A deserialized distribution.

optuna.distributions.
check_distribution_compatibility
(dist_old, dist_new)[source]¶ A function to check compatibility of two distributions.
Note that this method is not supposed to be called by library users.
Parameters: - dist_old – A distribution previously recorded in storage.
- dist_new – A distribution newly added to storage.
Returns: True denotes given distributions are compatible. Otherwise, they are not.
