# encodeOptimizer(_:)

Encodes an estimator optimizer.

```
mutating func encodeOptimizer<T>(_ value: T) throws where T : Encodable
```

## Discussion

Optimizers are used when fitting an estimator and usually contain state information such as momentum.
This method encodes the optimizer state separately from model parameters.
