Bayesian optimization (BO) can help determine the optimal deposition conditions for high-performance passivation films in solar cells. However, simple implementations tend to suggest excessively ...

Stan is a free and open-source C++ program that performs Bayesian inference or optimization for arbitrary user-specified models and can be called from the command line, R, Python, Matlab, or Julia and ...

In particular, we show that the reformulation of the Kiefer–Wolfowitz estimator as a convex optimization problem reduces the computational effort by several orders of magnitude for typical problems, ...
