"""
Defines transformations between the a fit space and the parameter space.

The parameter space maps a set of possibly bounded dimensions into a
real-valued fitness::

    f: [a,b]**n |-> R

The fit space is constrained to map values in the unit box::

    f': [0,1]**n |-> R 

Here we can define f' using the zero-one mapper::

    f' = ZeroOneMapper(f,a,b)
    f'(v) = f(x)

An asymptote function maps x to [0,1], preserving at least 12 digits of
precision.

Using this mapping, the optimizer can operate in a well known space
independent of parameter precision.  This allows the use of reasonable
constants for items such as a step size and initial value.

Note: we do not yet support fitness functions with analytic derivatives.
Given df/dp and mapping function f'(v) = f(M(v)) then df'/dv = df/dM dM/dv.
So the derivatives need to be multiplied by the derivative of the
parameter mapper.  Not difficult computationally, but the definition of
the fitness function does not currently support this organization.

    Local minimizer using COBYLA, Constrained Optimization by Linear
    Approximation.
    
    COBYLA minimizes an objective function F(X) subject to M inequality 
    constraints on X, where X is a vector of variables that has N components. 
    The algorithm employs linear approximations to the objective and 
    constraint functions, the approximations being formed by linear 
    interpolation at N+1 points in the space of the variables.  These 
    interpolation points can be regarded as vertices of a simplex. The
    parameter rho controls the size of the simplex and it is reduced
    automatically from radius to xtol. For each RHO the subroutine tries
    to achieve a good vector of variables for the current size, and then
    RHO is reduced until the value xtol is reached. Therefore radius and
    xtol should be set to reasonable initial changes to and the required   
    accuracy in the variables respectively, but this accuracy should be
    viewed as a subject for experimentation because it is not guaranteed.

    Basic bounds constraints are built into the interface.  These bounds
    map the space into the n-D unit cube, so values values for radius
    and xtol should be chosen accordingly.  Regardless of xtol, the
    fit is stopped after maxiter function evaluations.
