[WIP] Make number of initial random trials independent from batch size #50

Closed AngelFP closed 1 year ago

AngelFP commented 2 years ago

(In progress ...)

This PR focuses on allowing the number of initial random trials (in the Ax SF/MF generator) to be independent from the batch size. To expose this property, a new (optional) dictionary gen_params has been defined. This dictionary can serve as the basis where any parameters which tune the functionality of the generator function could be stored. In the future, the mf_params and mt_params dictionaries as well as other existing properties could be merged in gen_params.

(Tests are failing until #49 is merged)
