Manuel Raimann d80d2bb1fb refactor(sampler): extract shared utilities to reduce duplication
- Add sampler/common.rs with distribution helpers (internal_bounds,
  from_internal, to_internal, sample_random) used by 8 samplers
- Add sampler/tpe/common.rs with TPE sampling functions
  (sample_tpe_float, sample_tpe_int, sample_tpe_categorical)
  shared by TpeSampler, MultivariateTpeSampler, and MotpeSampler
- Remove ~940 lines of near-identical code across sampler modules

//! Gaussian Process (GP) sampler with Expected Improvement acquisition.
//!
//! A classical Bayesian optimization sampler that builds a Gaussian Process
//! surrogate model with a **Matérn 5/2 kernel** (with ARD lengthscales) and
//! selects the next trial by maximizing the **Expected Improvement (EI)**
//! acquisition function. Best suited for small, expensive evaluations in
//! low-dimensional continuous spaces (d ≤ 20).
//!
//! # Algorithm overview
//!
//! 1. **Startup phase** — the first `n_startup_trials` trials are sampled
//! uniformly at random to build an initial dataset.
//! 2. **Fit GP** — training observations are standardized (zero mean, unit
//! variance) and a GP with Matérn 5/2 kernel is fitted via Cholesky
//! decomposition. ARD lengthscales are set to the per-dimension standard
//! deviation of the training inputs.
//! 3. **Maximize EI** — `n_candidates` random points are evaluated under
//! the GP posterior and the point with the highest Expected Improvement
//! is returned as the next trial.
//!
//! The GP uses at most 100 training points (the most recent ones) to keep
//! the O(n³) fitting cost manageable.
//!
//! # When to use
//!
//! - **Expensive objective functions** where every evaluation is costly
//! (e.g. physical experiments, large simulations). The GP surrogate
//! amortizes this cost by making fewer evaluations.
//! - **Low-dimensional continuous spaces** — typically d ≤ 20. Beyond that,
//! the GP becomes unreliable and alternatives like
//! [`CmaEsSampler`](super::cma_es::CmaEsSampler) or
//! [`TpeSampler`](super::tpe::TpeSampler) are preferable.
//! - **Smooth, low-noise objectives** — the GP assumes smoothness through
//! the Matérn 5/2 kernel. Very noisy objectives require increasing
//! `noise_variance`.
//!
//! Categorical parameters are sampled uniformly at random and do not
//! participate in the GP model. If all parameters are categorical, the
//! sampler falls back to pure random sampling.
//!
//! # Configuration
//!
//! | Option | Default | Description |
//! |--------|---------|-------------|
//! | `n_startup_trials` | 10 | Random trials before GP-guided sampling begins |
//! | `n_candidates` | 1000 | Random candidates for EI maximization |
//! | `noise_variance` | 1e-6 | Observation noise added to kernel diagonal |
//! | `seed` | random | RNG seed for reproducibility |
//!
//! # Feature flag
//!
//! Requires the **`gp`** feature (adds the `nalgebra` dependency):
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! optimizer = { version = "...", features = ["gp"] }
//! ```
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use optimizer::sampler::gp::GpSampler;
//! use optimizer::{Direction, Study};
//!
//! // Minimize an expensive function with GP-based Bayesian optimization
//! let sampler = GpSampler::builder()
//! .n_startup_trials(5)
//! .n_candidates(500)
//! .seed(42)
//! .build();
//!
//! let mut study: Study<f64> = Study::with_sampler(Direction::Minimize, sampler);
//! ```
