mlr_terminators_stagnation: Terminator that stops when optimization does not improve

In bbotk: Black-Box Optimization Toolkit

Terminator that stops when optimization does not improve

Description

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

Dictionary

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

mlr_terminators$get("stagnation")
trm("stagnation")

Parameters

iters

integer(1)
Number of iterations to evaluate the performance improvement on, default is 10.

threshold

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