Some parameters might not work if given as integers

We recently found out that e.g. in PET setting a cutoff of 5 doesn't work, as it should be 5.0

So either we can try to enforce the use of float by the user (by changing the validation done though JSON schema); or we can normalize types to float in the model. I feel like the first case is less convenient, users have to change 5 to 5.0 in the input for seemingly no reason; so I would normalize inside the model instead, i.e. self.cutoff = float(hypers["CUTOFF"]) or even just hypers["CUTOFF"] = float(hypers["CUTOFF"])

I agree that the second solution of "casting" CUTOFF to float seems the most reasonable thing to do
