    Grid Search of a Hyper-Parameter Space for a Model

    :param model: The type of model to be explored initialized with optional parameters that will be
        unchanged across explored models.
    :param hyper_params: A dictionary of string parameters (keys) and a list of values to be explored by grid
        search (values).
    :param str grid_id: The unique id assigned to the resulting grid object. If none is given, an id will
        automatically be generated.
    :param search_criteria:  A dictionary of directives which control the search of the hyperparameter space.
        The default strategy "Cartesian" covers the entire space of hyperparameter combinations. Specify the
        "RandomDiscrete" strategy to get random search of all the combinations of your hyperparameters.
        RandomDiscrete should usually be combined with at least one early stopping criterion: max_models
        and/or max_runtime_secs, e.g::

            >>> criteria = {"strategy": "RandomDiscrete", "max_models": 42,
            ...             "max_runtime_secs": 28800, "seed": 1234}
            >>> criteria = {"strategy": "RandomDiscrete", "stopping_metric": "AUTO",
            ...             "stopping_tolerance": 0.001, "stopping_rounds": 10}
            >>> criteria = {"strategy": "RandomDiscrete", "stopping_rounds": 5,
            ...             "stopping_metric": "misclassification",
            ...             "stopping_tolerance": 0.00001}
