Terminator that stops when optimization does not improve

Class to terminate the optimization after the performance stagnates, i.e. does not improve more than threshold over the last n batches.

Dictionary

This Terminator can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_terminators or with the associated sugar function trm():

mlr_terminators$get("stagnation_batch")
trm("stagnation_batch")

Parameters

n

integer(1)
Number of batches to evaluate the performance improvement on, default is 1.

threshold

numeric(1)
If the improvement is less than threshold, optimization is stopped, default is 0.
