config_hs: Configuration object for the Harmony Search Algorithm

In EmiR: Evolutionary Minimizer for R

Configuration object for the Harmony Search Algorithm

Description

Create a configuration object for the Harmony Search Algorithm (HS). At minimum the number of iterations (parameter iterations) and the number of solutions in the harmony memory (parameter population_size) have to be provided.

Usage

config_hs(
  iterations,
  population_size,
  iterations_same_cost = NULL,
  absolute_tol = NULL,
  considering_rate = 0.5,
  adjusting_rate = 0.5,
  distance_bandwidth = 0.1
)

Arguments

iterations	maximum number of iterations.
population_size	number of solutions in the harmony memory.
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.
considering_rate	probability for each component of a newly generated solution to be recalled from the harmony memory.
adjusting_rate	probability of the pitch adjustment in case of a component recalled from the harmony memory.
distance_bandwidth	amplitude of the random pitch adjustment.

Value

config_hs returns an object of class HSConfig.
