Version
SwarmOps 3.0

Description
SwarmOps Random searches the design space completely at random. This can be used as a baseline performance to compare other optimizers.

Control Parameters

Name Default Value Description
Optimization Parameters
Seed Random number generator seed value (optional). Specifying the same seed value between two different optimization runs would help generate identical results provided all other parameters stay the same. This is a good way to analyze the effect of different parameters on the optimization.
Stopping Criteria
AbsoluteConvergenceTolerance 0.0001 Maximum absolute change in fitness value between successive evaluations to indicate convergence. The value specified must be greater than 0.
ConsecutiveFunctionEvaluations 200 The number of consecutive iterations for which the convergence criteria must be met to indicate convergence. Thus option must have a positive integer value.
MaxFunctionEvaluations 3000 Maximum number of iterations. Thus option must have a positive integer value.
