What is the current intialization behavior of RealSpacePSO? #1437

Closed maguirj4 closed 2 years ago

maguirj4 commented 2 years ago

I was doing some digging through #296 and #467 and they made me realize I haven't a clue how the original particles are spawned. Say my parameterization is an array bound within (-5, 5), how can I ensure my particles spawn uniformly over that range?

Thanks in advance for any advice

For what it's worth, I empirically observe that my particles do spawn uniformly over those ranges. So perhaps my issue it just spam. Sorry if so

I think I'm wasting folk's time. Particles appear to be spawned ideally. Thanks for such an amazing tool!
