config_algo {EmiR}

Configuration object for algorithms

Description

Create a configuration object for one of the algorithms available in EmiR. At minimum the id of the algorithm (parameter algorithm_id), the number of iterations (parameter iterations) and the number of individuals in the population (parameter population_size) have to be provided.

Usage

config_algo(
  algorithm_id,
  iterations,
  population_size,
  iterations_same_cost = NULL,
  absolute_tol = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

algorithm_id

id of the algorithm to be used. See list_of_algorithms for the list of the available algorithms.

iterations

maximum number of iterations.

population_size

number of individuals in the population.

iterations_same_cost

maximum number of consecutive iterations with the same (see the parameter absolute_tol) best cost before ending the minimization. If NULL the minimization continues for the number of iterations specified by the parameter iterations. Default is NULL.

absolute_tol

absolute tolerance when comparing best costs from consecutive iterations. If NULL the machine epsilon is used. Default is NULL.

...

algorithm specific parameters (see specific configuration functions for more details).

Value

config_algo returns a configuration object specific for the specified algorithm.

Examples

conf <- config_algo(algorithm_id = "PS", population_size = 200, iterations = 10000)
