AbstractOptimizer

public AbstractOptimizer()

Creates a new instance of AbstractOptimizer

Method Detail

configuration

public IOptimizerConfiguration configuration()

Get the IOptimizer configuration

Specified by:

configuration in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

The configuration.

optimize

public abstract void optimize()

Perform the optimization.

Specified by:

optimize in interface IOptimizer

reset

public void reset()

Reset the function, the domain of constraints and the internal configuration.

Specified by:

reset in interface IOptimizer

result

public IOptimizerResult result()

Get the optimization results.

Specified by:

result in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

The result.

setConfiguration

public void setConfiguration(IOptimizerConfiguration configuration)

Set the internal configuration of the Optimizer.

Specified by:

setConfiguration in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

configuration - The configuration.

setConstraints

public void setConstraints(IDomainConstraint iDomainConstraint)

Set the domain of constraints for the IOptimizer. If a domain of constraints already exists it will be overwritten.

Specified by:

setConstraints in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

iDomainConstraint - The domain of constraints.

setFunction

public void setFunction(IFunction iFunction)

Set the IFunction to be optimized. When setting a function the current configuration is reset.

Specified by:

setFunction in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

iFunction - The IFunction to be optimized.

listVariableSettings

public String[] listVariableSettings()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Get the list of the names of the IVariableSettings defined.

Specified by:

listVariableSettings in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

The list of the names.

resetVariableSettings

public void resetVariableSettings()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Reset all variable settings.

Specified by:

resetVariableSettings in interface IOptimizer

variableSettings

public IVariableSettings variableSettings(String name)

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Get the IVariableSettings corresponding to a give variable. If the IVariableSettings does not exist, a new one is created.

Specified by:

variableSettings in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

name - The variable's name.

Returns:

The corresponging IVariableSettings

acceptsConstraints

public boolean acceptsConstraints()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Check if this IOptimizer accept constraints.

Specified by:

acceptsConstraints in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

true if the IOptimizer accepts contraints. false otherwise.

canCalculateContours

public boolean canCalculateContours()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Check if this IOptimizer can calculate contours.

Specified by:

canCalculateContours in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

true if the IOptimizer can calculate contours. false otherwise.

calculateContour

public double[][] calculateContour(String par1,
                                   String par2,
                                   int npts,
                                   double nSigmas)

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Calculate the contour for two given parameters. The number of points and the number of sigmas can also be specified.

Specified by:

calculateContour in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

par1 - The name of the first parameter.

par2 - The name of the second parameter.

npts - The number of points on the contour.

nSigmas - The number of sigmas for this contour.

Returns:

A double array of dimension [2][npts]. For each point on the contour the value of (par1,par2) is returned.
