        pySOT: Python Surrogate Optimization Toolbox
        --------------------------------------------
        
        The Python Surrogate Optimization Toolbox (pySOT) is an asynchronous parallel
        optimization toolbox for computationally expensive global optimization problems.
        pySOT is built on top of the Plumbing for Optimization with Asynchronous Parallelism (POAP),
        which is an event-driven framework for building and combining asynchronous optimization
        strategies. POAP has support for both threads and MPI.
        
        pySOT implements many popular surrogate optimization algorithms such as the
        Stochastic RBF (SRBF) and DYCORS methods by Regis and Shoemaker, and the SOP
        method by Krityakierne et. al. We also support Expected Improvement (EI) and
        Lower Confidence Bounds (LCB), which are popular in Bayesian optimization. All
        optimization algorithms can be used in serial, synchronous parallel, and
        asynchronous parallel and we support both continuous and integer variables.
        
        The toolbox is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/dme65/pySOT

        FAQ
        ---
        
        | Q: Can I use pySOT with MPI?
        | A: Yes. You need to install mpi4py in order to use the MPIController in POAP.
        |
        | Q: I used pySOT for my research and want to cite it
        | A: Please cite our preprint_ which is currently under review!
        |
        | Q: Is there support for Python 2?
        | A: Python 2 support was removed in version 0.2.0
        |
        | Q: I can't find the MARS interpolant
        | A: You need to install py-earth in order to use MARS. More information is
          available here: https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/py-earth
