Acquisition Function Expected Improvement Per Second

Expected Improvement per Second.

It is assumed that calculations are performed on an bbotk::OptimInstanceBatchSingleCrit. Additionally to target values of the codomain that should be minimized or maximized, the bbotk::Objective of the bbotk::OptimInstanceBatchSingleCrit should return time values. The column names of the target variable and time variable must be passed as cols_y in the order (target, time) when constructing the SurrogateLearnerCollection that is being used as a surrogate.

Dictionary

This AcqFunction can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_acqfunctions or with the associated sugar function acqf():

mlr_acqfunctions$get("eips")
acqf("eips")
