Roadmap to v1.0

[reykboerner]

To-do list

Here's what we want to achieve for version v1.0:

• RateSystem: finalize a convenient struct for easily implementing time-dependent forcing in a given dynamical system, such as parameter ramping
• r-tipping tools: add a few basic tools for analyzing RateSystems in the context of rate-induced tipping
• Output types: Streamline the output of functions (specifically transitions) by creating custom types
• Jacobian: add the option to specify a hard-coded Jacobian in the StochSystem (and RateSystem) structs
• Noise function: Find out how to best design the StochSystem struct in terms of the noise function sys.g, the covariance matrix sys.Σ and allowing for different noise processes
• Lévy noise: add to the list of possible noise processes
• gMAM performance: solve the bottleneck issue of reinterpolating the path between optimization steps (Replace Optim.jl with Optimization.jl #23 pre-conditioner (s)gMAM #33)
• Wrappers: remove superfluous wrapper functions to functions in DynamicalSystems however add them as examples in the documentation.

New algorithms:

• Quasipotential calculation: write a function that performs the ordered line integral method (OLIM) (Implement OLIM #34)
• langevin_mcmc: improve performance and enhance symbolic capabilities
• sgMAM: implement simple gMAM
• SaddleSearch.jl
• WeightedEnsemble.jl
• JamieMair/TransitionPathSampling.jl
• gideonsimpson/StringMethod.jl

More general points:

• Performance: identify slow functions and code them more efficiently
• Symbolic features: add symbolic capabilities to the suite of functions
• Tests: Have propper tests (Tests #37)
• Steamline export Streamline export #43
