Detailed Description

Optimize by trying out predefined configurations.

The PointSearch class is similair to the GridSearch class by the property that it optimizes a model in a single pass just trying out a predefined number of parameter configurations. The main difference is that every parameter configuration has to be explicitly defined. It is not possible to define a set of values for every axis; see GridSearch for this purpose. Thus, the PointSearch class allows for more flexibility.

If no configure method is called, this class just samples random points. They are uniformly distributed in [-1,1]. parameters^2 points but minimum 20 are sampled in this case.
