mk_simanneal_temp_func: Create a temperature function that returns the annealing...

In designit: Blocking and Randomization for Experimental Design

Create a temperature function that returns the annealing temperature at a given step (iteration)

Description

Supported annealing types are currently "Exponential multiplicative", "Logarithmic multiplicative", "Quadratic multiplicative" and "Linear multiplicative", each with dedicated constraints on alpha. For information, see http://what-when-how.com/artificial-intelligence/a-comparison-of-cooling-schedules-for-simulated-annealing-artificial-intelligence/

Usage

mk_simanneal_temp_func(T0, alpha, type = "Quadratic multiplicative")

Arguments

T0	Initial temperature at step 1 (when k=0)
alpha	Rate of cooling
type	Type of annealing protocol. Defaults to the quadratic multiplicative method which seems to perform well.

Value

Temperature at cycle k.
