Support for integer and booleans parameters #17

Closed waredjeb closed 6 months ago

waredjeb commented 10 months ago

To think about it: would it make sense to add support for integer and booleans parameter? Currently all the parameters are extracted "continously" in a certain range. In the case the parameters are integers or booleans one could always round the generated parameters, but that means the optimizer would generate a lot of useless parameter.

This is a big one. Changing the data type would affect a lot of the code. However in case of categorical data (i.e. bool) PSO is not the best fit, so probably would make sense to consider this for a future extension.
