Class Parametric

java.lang.Object
  genopt.algorithm.Optimizer
      genopt.algorithm.Parametric

public class Parametric
extends Optimizer

Class for doing a parametric run where one parameter is perturbed at a time while the others are fixed. Linear and logarithmic spacing can be selected for each parameter independently.

Constructor Detail

Parametric

public Parametric(GenOpt genOptData)
           throws OptimizerException,
                  java.io.IOException,
                  java.lang.Exception,
                  InputFormatException

Constructor

Parameters:

genOptData - a reference to the GenOpt object.
Note: the object is used as a reference. Hence, the datas of GenOpt are modified by this Class.

Throws:

OptimizerException

java.io.IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

java.lang.Exception

InputFormatException

Method Detail

run

public int run(Point x0)
        throws OptimizerException,
               java.lang.Exception

Runs the evaluation

Specified by:

run in class Optimizer

Parameters:

x0 - initial point

Returns:

+4 the only possible return value

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

OptimizerException

InputFormatException - if an InputFormatException occurs

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException - if a method that should be invoked could not be found

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if an invoked method enforces Java language access control and the underlying method is inaccessible

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if an invoked method throws an exception

getF

public Point getF(Point pt)
           throws SimulationInputException,
                  OptimizerException,
                  java.lang.Exception

Evaluates a simulation and reports result

Overrides:

getF in class Optimizer

Parameters:

pt - point to be evaluated

Returns:

a clone of the point with the new function values stored

Throws:

OptimizerException - if an OptimizerException occurs or if the user required to stop GenOpt

SimulationInputException - if an error in writing the simulation input file occurs

java.lang.Exception - if an I/O error in the simulation input file occurs
