defmodule Scout.Sampler.MultivariateTpeV2 do
@moduledoc """
True multivariate TPE implementation that models parameter correlations.
Key improvements over univariate TPE:
1. Joint probability modeling using multivariate Gaussian
2. Covariance matrix estimation for correlated parameters
3. Cholesky decomposition for correlated sampling
4. Better handling of mixed parameter types
