Description

I am wondering how much of the functionality of the compecon toolkit already exists in the scientific Python eco-system? Particularly for optimization: PyOpt is just one of many packages available.

When I was at ZICE, I took notes on various Python implementations of the tools and techniques that I was taught. I have a repo with all of the lecture notes.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the compecon toolkit link, the ZICE 2014 notes, and the lecture-notes repository, then compare the described functionality with relevant scientific Python packages, especially optimization tools such as PyOpt. Done means producing a clearly scoped inventory of existing Python equivalents and identifying meaningful gaps.
