dict_scalors_aggregate: Scalor giving Weighted Sum of Multiple Scalors

In miesmuschel: Mixed Integer Evolution Strategies

Scalor giving Weighted Sum of Multiple Scalors

Description

Scalor that applies multiple other Scalors and calculates their weighted sum.

Configuration Parameters

This operation has the configuration parameters of the Scalors that it wraps: The configuration parameters of the operator given to the scalors construction argument are prefixed with "scalor_1", "scalor_2", ... up to "scalor_#", where ⁠#⁠ is length(scalors).

Additional configuration parameters:

• weight_1, weight_2, ... :: numeric(1)
  Weight factors of scalors[[1]], scalors[[2]], etc. Depending on scaling, the outputs of scalors is multiplied with this (when scaling is "linear" or "rank"), or ties between ranks are broken with it (when scaling is "tiebreak"). Initialized to 1.

• scaling :: character(1)
  How to calculate output values, one of "linear", "rank" or "tiebreak". When scaling is "linear", then the output is calculated as the weighted sum of the outputs of scalors, weighted by weight_1, weight_2 etc. When scaling is "rank", then the output is calculated as the weighted sum of the rank() of scalors, weighted by weight_1, weight_2 etc., with ties broken by average. When scaling is "tiebreak", then the output is calculated as the averaged rank() of the scalors with the highest weight_#, with ties broken by the average rank() of the second highest weight_#, with remaining ties broken by scalors with third highest weight_# etc. Initialized to "linear".

• scale_output :: logical(1)
  Whether to scale the output to lie between 0 and 1. Initialized to FALSE.

Dictionary

This Scalor can be created with the short access form scl() (scls() to get a list), or through the the dictionary dict_scalors in the following way:

# preferred:
scl("aggregate", <scalors>)
scls("aggregate", <scalors>)  # takes vector IDs, returns list of Scalors

# long form:
dict_scalors$get("aggregate", <scalors>)

Super classes

miesmuschel::MiesOperator -> miesmuschel::Scalor -> ScalorAggregate

Active bindings

scalors

(list of Scalor)
Scalors being wrapped. These operators are run and their outputs weighted.

---

Method new()

Initialize the ScalorAggregate object.

Usage

ScalorAggregate$new(scalors)

Arguments

scalors

(list of Scalor)
Scalors to wrap. The operations are run and weighted by weight_# configuration parameters, depending on the scaling configuration parameter. The constructed object gets a clone of this argument. The ⁠$scalors⁠ field will reflect this value.

---

Method prime()

See MiesOperator method. Primes both this operator, as well as the wrapped operators given to scalors during construction.

Usage

ScalorAggregate$prime(param_set)

Arguments

param_set

(ParamSet)
Passed to MiesOperator⁠$prime()⁠.

Returns

invisible self.

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

ScalorAggregate$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Examples

p = ps(x = p_dbl(-5, 5))
data = data.frame(x = rep(0, 5))

sa = scl("aggregate", list(
    scl("one", objective = 1),
    scl("one", objective = 2)
))
sa$prime(p)

(fitnesses = matrix(c(1, 5, 2, 3, 0, 3, 1, 0, 10, 8), ncol = 2))

# to see the fitness matrix, use:
## plot(fitnesses, pch = as.character(1:5))

# default weight 1 -- sum of both objectives
sa$operate(data, fitnesses)

# only first objective
sa$param_set$values[c("weight_1", "weight_2")] = c(1, 0)
sa$operate(data, fitnesses)

# only 2 * second objective
sa$param_set$values[c("weight_1", "weight_2")] = c(0, 2)
sa$operate(data, fitnesses)
