Detailed Description

Abstract class for a SOT merit function.

This is the abstract class that should be used as a Base class for all merit functions in SOT. A merit function is used to select the most promising points to evaluate from a set of candidate points.

inlinepure virtual

Method for picking the next point.

Parameters

cand	The candidate points to choose from
surf	The surrogate model that predicts the value of the objective function
points	Previous evaluation that we compute the minimum distance to
newPoints	Number of candidate points that we are picking
distTol	Candidate points that are closer than distTol to a previously evaluated point are discarded

Returns

The proposed evaluations

Implemented in sot::MeritWeightedDistance.
