Recommended hyperparameter settings

HyperparameterRecommended settingNotes
Utility functionUpper confidence bound
(UCB)
Expected improvement (EI) also performs well, but use ξ103
κ2.0Minor efficiency gains can be made by lowering κ, but at the risk of becoming stuck
ν52ν=32 also performs well
l0.1Since this is just the initial guess for the Gaussian process optimizer, the choice for l is often not significant
ns10For very simple optimization problems (e.g. single variable, under 10 iterations total), ns can be lowered, at the risk of becoming stuck
