makeTuneControlGenSA: Create control object for hyperparameter tuning with GenSA.
In riebetob/mlr: Machine Learning in R

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also

Generalized simulated annealing with method GenSA. Can handle numeric(vector) and integer(vector) hyperparameters, but no dependencies. For integers the internally proposed numeric values are automatically rounded.

makeTuneControlGenSA(same.resampling.instance = TRUE, impute.val = NULL,
  start = NULL, tune.threshold = FALSE, tune.threshold.args = list(),
  log.fun = "default", final.dw.perc = NULL, budget = NULL, ...)

`same.resampling.instance`	[`logical(1)`] Should the same resampling instance be used for all evaluations to reduce variance? Default is `TRUE`.
`impute.val`	[`numeric`] If something goes wrong during optimization (e.g. the learner crashes), this value is fed back to the tuner, so the tuning algorithm does not abort. It is not stored in the optimization path, an NA and a corresponding error message are logged instead. Note that this value is later multiplied by -1 for maximization measures internally, so you need to enter a larger positive value for maximization here as well. Default is the worst obtainable value of the performance measure you optimize for when you aggregate by mean value, or `Inf` instead. For multi-criteria optimization pass a vector of imputation values, one for each of your measures, in the same order as your measures.
`start`	[`list`] Named list of initial parameter values.
`tune.threshold`	[`logical(1)`] Should the threshold be tuned for the measure at hand, after each hyperparameter evaluation, via `tuneThreshold`? Only works for classification if the predict type is “prob”. Default is `FALSE`.
`tune.threshold.args`	[`list`] Further arguments for threshold tuning that are passed down to `tuneThreshold`. Default is none.
`log.fun`	[`function` \| `character(1)`] Function used for logging. If set to “default” (the default), the evaluated design points, the resulting performances, and the runtime will be reported. If set to “memory”, the memory usage for each evaluation will also be displayed, with a small increase in run time. Otherwise a function with arguments `learner`, `resampling`, `measures`, `par.set`, `control`, `opt.path`, `dob`, `x`, `y`, `remove.nas`, `stage`, and `prev.stage` is expected. The default displays the performance measures, the time needed for evaluating, the currently used memory and the max memory ever used before (the latter two both taken from `gc`). See the implementation for details.
`final.dw.perc`	[`boolean`] If a Learner wrapped by a `makeDownsampleWrapper` is used, you can define the value of `dw.perc` which is used to train the Learner with the final parameter setting found by the tuning. Default is `NULL` which will not change anything.
`budget`	[`integer(1)`] Maximum budget for tuning. This value restricts the number of function evaluations. `GenSA` defines the `budget` via the argument `max.call`. However, one should note that this algorithm does not stop its local search before its end. This behavior might lead to an extension of the defined budget and will result in a warning.
`...`	[any] Further control parameters passed to the `control` arguments of `cma_es` or `GenSA`, as well as towards the `tunerConfig` argument of `irace`.
