Container around a data.table::data.table which stores all performed function calls of the Objective.
S3 Methods
as.data.table(archive)
Archive ->data.table::data.table()
Returns a tabular view of all performed function calls of the Objective. Thex_domain
column is unnested to separate columns.
Public fields
search_space
(paradox::ParamSet)
Search space of objective.codomain
(Codomain)
Codomain of objective function.start_time
(POSIXct)
Time stamp of when the optimization started. The time is set by the Optimizer.check_values
(
logical(1)
)
Determines if points and results are checked for validity.data
(data.table::data.table)
Contains all performed Objective function calls.data_extra
(named
list
)
Data created by specificOptimizer
s that does not relate to any individual function evaluation and can therefore not be held in$data
. Every optimizer should create and refer to its own entry in this list, named by itsclass()
.
Active bindings
n_evals
(
integer(1)
)
Number of evaluations stored in the archive.n_batch
(
integer(1)
)
Number of batches stored in the archive.cols_x
(
character()
)
Column names of search space parameters.cols_y
(
character()
)
Column names of codomain target parameters.
Methods
Method new()
Creates a new instance of this R6 class.
Usage
Archive$new(search_space, codomain, check_values = TRUE)
Arguments
search_space
(paradox::ParamSet)
Specifies the search space for the Optimizer. The paradox::ParamSet describes either a subset of thedomain
of the Objective or it describes a set of parameters together with atrafo
function that transforms values from the search space to values of the domain. Depending on the context, this value defaults to the domain of the objective.codomain
(paradox::ParamSet)
Specifies codomain of function. Most importantly the tags of each output "Parameter" define whether it should be minimized or maximized. The default is to minimize each component.check_values
(
logical(1)
)
Should x-values that are added to the archive be checked for validity? Search space that is logged into archive.
Method add_evals()
Adds function evaluations to the archive table.
Arguments
xdt
(
data.table::data.table()
)
Set of untransformed points / points from the search space. One point per row, e.g.data.table(x1 = c(1, 3), x2 = c(2, 4))
. Column names have to match ids of thesearch_space
. However,xdt
can contain additional columns.xss_trafoed
(
list()
)
Transformed point(s) in the domain space.ydt
(
data.table::data.table()
)
Optimal outcome.
Method best()
Returns the best scoring evaluation(s). For single-crit optimization, the solution that minimizes / maximizes the objective function. For multi-crit optimization, the Pareto set / front.
Arguments
batch
(
integer()
)
The batch number(s) to limit the best results to. Default is all batches.n_select
(
integer(1L)
)
Amount of points to select. Ignored for multi-crit optimization.
Method nds_selection()
Calculate best points w.r.t. non dominated sorting with hypervolume contribution.
