Abstract
We develop a new method for stochastic optimization using the Bayesian statistics approach. More precisely, we optimize parameters of chess engines as those data are available to us, but the method should apply to all situations where we want to optimize a certain gain/loss function which has no analytical form and thus cannot be measured directly but only by comparison of two parameter sets. We also experimentally compare the new method with the famous SPSA method.
