"""Plot the objective value EDF (empirical distribution function) of a study.
Note that only the complete trials are considered when plotting the EDF.
.. note::
EDF is useful to analyze and improve search spaces.
For instance, you can see a practical use case of EDF in the paper
`Designing Network Design Spaces <https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.13678>`_.
.. note::
The plotted EDF assumes that the value of the objective function is in
accordance with the uniform distribution over the objective space.
Example:
The following code snippet shows how to plot EDF.

import optuna
def ackley(x, y):
a = 20 * math.exp(-0.2 * math.sqrt(0.5 * (x ** 2 + y ** 2)))
b = math.exp(0.5 * (math.cos(2 * math.pi * x) + math.cos(2 * math.pi * y)))
return -a - b + math.e + 20

x = trial.suggest_float("x", low, high)
y = trial.suggest_float("y", low, high)
return ackley(x, y)

Args:
study:
A target :class:`~optuna.study.Study` object.
You can pass multiple studies if you want to compare those EDFs.
target:
A function to specify the value to display. If it is :obj:`None` and ``study`` is being
used for single-objective optimization, the objective values are plotted.
.. note::
Specify this argument if ``study`` is being used for multi-objective optimization.
target_name:
Target's name to display on the axis label.
Returns:
A :class:`plotly.graph_objs.Figure` object.
Raises:
:exc:`ValueError`:
If ``target`` is :obj:`None` and ``study`` is being used for multi-objective
optimization.
