|
||
|
||
## 🚀 Getting Started
|
||
|
||
### Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Install OptimizR
|
||
pip install optimizr
|
||
|
||
# Additional dependencies for notebooks
|
||
pip install jupyter matplotlib seaborn pandas sklearn
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

||
cd examples/notebooks
|
||
jupyter notebook
|
||

|
||
jupyter lab
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# From repository root

||
# Access at http://localhost:8888
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 📊 What You'll Learn
|
||
|
||
- **Optimization**: Global optimization with differential evolution (jDE, multiple strategies)
|
||
- **Statistical Inference**: MCMC sampling, Bayesian parameter estimation
|
||
- **Time Series**: HMM regime detection, Kalman filtering, state estimation
|
||
- **Control Theory**: Optimal control, HJB equations, regime-switching models
|
||
- **Mean Field Games**: Population dynamics, agent modeling (advanced)
|
||
- **Performance**: Rust vs Python benchmarking, 50-100× speedup demonstrations
|
||
|
||
## 🎯 Tutorial Progression
|
||
|
||
**Recommended Order for Beginners:**
|
||
1. Start with `01_hmm_tutorial.ipynb` (regime detection)
|
||
2. Try `03_differential_evolution_tutorial.ipynb` (optimization basics)
|
||
3. Explore `04_real_world_applications.ipynb` (practical finance examples)
|
||
4. Advanced: `02_mcmc_tutorial.ipynb` (Bayesian inference)
|
||
5. Expert: `03_optimal_control_tutorial.ipynb` (HJB/control theory)
|
||
|
||
## 📈 Performance Highlights
|
||
|
||
From the tutorials, you'll see:
|
||
- **HMM**: 20-50× faster than hmmlearn (Python/Cython)
|
||
- **MCMC**: 10-30× faster than pure Python implementations
|
||
- **Differential Evolution**: 5-10× faster than scipy.optimize
|
||
- **Memory**: 90-95% reduction vs NumPy for large-scale problems
|
||
|
||
## 🐛 Known Issues
|
||
|
||
1. **Performance Benchmarks** - Heavy benchmarking (>50k observations) may exhaust kernel memory. Reduce sample sizes if needed.
|
||
|
||
2. **Mean Field Games** - Python PDE solver has numerical instability on coarse grids (academic research limitation, not a bug). Rust implementation demonstrates superior stability.
|
||
|
||
## 💡 Tips
|
||
|
||
- **Memory**: Clear notebook outputs before committing (`Cell > All Output > Clear`)
|
||
- **Performance**: Use `%timeit` for micro-benchmarks, `time.perf_counter()` for larger tests
|
||
- **Reproducibility**: Set random seeds (`np.random.seed(42)`) for consistent results
|
||
- **Visualization**: All plots use seaborn styling for publication-quality figures
