Profile merging tool #95

Open paulstapor opened 5 years ago

paulstapor commented 5 years ago

Since we already have the functionality to compute and store many profiles per parameter, we have everything at hand to implement a profile merger.

@paulstapor can you elaborate on what you mean here?

paulstapor commented 4 years ago

Profile computation is started from local optima. If multiple optima are sufficiently good in terms of objective function value, profile computation should be initialized at all of those. This will yield different profiles for each parameters. Those profiles should be merged in the end, to obtain a fully global uncertainty quantification. A tool for merging different profiles is however missing so far.
