Methods which found the maximum likelihood model were previously called
optimize
, which this PR renames to MLE (maximum likelihood estimator).This PR improves the MLE methods with functionality including:
Initializer
API.The
BFGS
andLBFGS

The intent is to use this for strong lens sensitivity mapping.
The bulk of functionality is included in the following autofit PR:
