objectives: Information-Theoretic Objectives

This module defines the objective functions that the optimization methods aim to maximize. Use the get_objective method to retrieve an objective function class by its string name.

• MI and SLogMI: These classes compute the Mutual Information between a set of sensing locations and a set of objective locations.

  • MI quantifies the expected information gain from making measurements at the chosen locations.
  • SLogMI uses a more numerically stable implementation of MI based on the log-determinant of the covariance matrix.
