Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GeneticAlgorithm()

TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::GeneticAlgorithm	(	IFitterTarget &	target,
		Int_t	populationSize,
		const std::vector< TMVA::Interval *> &	ranges,
		UInt_t	seed = `0`
	)

Constructor.

Parameters:

int populationSize : defines the number of "Individuals" which are created and tested within one Generation (Iteration of the Evolution)
std::vector<TMVA::Interval*> ranges : Interval holds the information of an interval, where the GetMin gets the low and GetMax gets the high constraint of the variable the size of "ranges" is the number of coefficients which are optimised Purpose:
```
Creates a random population with individuals of the size ranges.size()  
```

Member Function Documentation

◆ CalculateFitness()

Double_t TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::CalculateFitness ( )

virtual

starts the evaluation of the fitness of all different individuals of the population.

this function calls implicitly (many times) the "fitnessFunction" which has been overridden by the user.

Definition at line 136 of file GeneticAlgorithm.cxx.

◆ Evolution()

void TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::Evolution ( )

virtual

this function is called from "init" and controls the evolution of the individuals.

The function can be overridden to change the parameters for mutation rate sexual reproduction and so on.

◆ GetGeneticPopulation()

◆ GetMakeCopies()

◆ GetSpread()

Double_t TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::GetSpread ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 69 of file GeneticAlgorithm.h.

◆ HasConverged()

Bool_t TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::HasConverged	(	Int_t	steps = `10`,
		Double_t	improvement = `0.1`
	)

virtual

gives back true if the last "steps" steps have lead to an improvement of the "fitness" of the "individuals" of at least "improvement"

this gives a simple measure of if the fitness of the individuals is converging and no major improvement is to be expected soon.

Definition at line 261 of file GeneticAlgorithm.cxx.

◆ Init()

void TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::Init ( void )

calls evolution, but if it is not the first time.

If it's the first time, the random population created by the constructor is still not evaluated, .. therefore we wait for the second time init is called.

◆ Log()

MsgLogger& TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::Log ( ) const

inlineprotected

Definition at line 102 of file GeneticAlgorithm.h.

◆ NewFitness()

Double_t TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::NewFitness	(	Double_t	oldValue,
		Double_t	newValue
	)

virtual

if the "fitnessFunction" is called multiple times for one set of factors (because i.e.

each event of a TTree has to be assessed with each set of Factors proposed by the Genetic Algorithm) the value of the current calculation has to be added(? or else) to the value obtained up to now. example: some chi-square is calculated for every event, after every event the new chi-square (newValue) has to be simply added to the oldValue.

this function has to be overridden eventually it might contain only the following return statement. return oldValue + newValue;

◆ SetMakeCopies()

void TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::SetMakeCopies ( Bool_t s )

Definition at line 72 of file GeneticAlgorithm.h.

◆ SetSpread()

void TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::SetSpread ( Double_t s )

◆ SpreadControl()

Double_t TMVA::GeneticAlgorithm::SpreadControl	(	Int_t	ofSteps,
		Int_t	successSteps,
		Double_t	factor
	)

virtual

this function provides the ability to change the stepSize of a mutation according to the success of the last generations.

Parameters:

int ofSteps : = if OF the number of STEPS given in this variable (ofSteps)
int successSteps : >sucessSteps Generations could improve the result
double factor : than multiply the stepSize ( spread ) by this factor

(if ofSteps == successSteps nothing is changed, if ofSteps < successSteps, the spread is divided by the factor)

using this function one can increase the stepSize of the mutation when we have good success (to pass fast through the easy phase-space) and reduce the stepSize if we are in a difficult "territory" of the phase-space.
