The Parameters class is designed to handle both model parameters and hyperparameters in a structured way. It provides methods for loading parameters from various file formats (JSON, Excel, CSV) and includes validation to ensure parameters are within specified bounds.

Example
-------
A typical workflow for parameters might look like:

>>> params = Parameters()
>>> params['alpha'] = 0.5
>>> params.to_json('parameters.json')
