Class SimpleStatistics

java.lang.Object

ec.Statistics

ec.simple.SimpleStatistics

All Implemented Interfaces:

Setup, Singleton, SteadyStateStatisticsForm, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

MultiObjectiveStatistics

public class SimpleStatistics
extends Statistics
implements SteadyStateStatisticsForm

A basic Statistics class suitable for simple problem applications. SimpleStatistics prints out the best individual, per subpopulation, each generation. At the end of a run, it also prints out the best individual of the run. SimpleStatistics outputs this data to a log which may either be a provided file or stdout. Compressed files will be overridden on restart from checkpoint; uncompressed files will be appended on restart.

SimpleStatistics implements a simple version of steady-state statistics: if it quits before a generation boundary, it will include the best individual discovered, even if the individual was discovered after the last boundary. This is done by using individualsEvaluatedStatistics(...) to update best-individual-of-generation in addition to doing it in postEvaluationStatistics(...).

Parameters

base.gzip boolean	(whether or not to compress the file (.gz suffix added)
base.file String (a filename), or nonexistant (signifies stdout)	(the log for statistics)

setup

public void setup(EvolutionState state,
                  Parameter base)

Description copied from interface: Setup

Sets up the object by reading it from the parameters stored in state, built off of the parameter base base. If an ancestor implements this method, be sure to call super.setup(state,base); before you do anything else.

Specified by:

setup in interface Setup

Overrides:

setup in class Statistics

postInitializationStatistics

public void postInitializationStatistics(EvolutionState state)

Description copied from class: Statistics

GENERATIONAL: Called immediately after population initialization occurs.

Overrides:

postInitializationStatistics in class Statistics

postEvaluationStatistics

public void postEvaluationStatistics(EvolutionState state)

Description copied from class: Statistics

GENERATIONAL: Called immediately after evaluation occurs.

Overrides:

postEvaluationStatistics in class Statistics

bypassFinalStatistics

protected void bypassFinalStatistics(EvolutionState state,
                                     int result)

Allows MultiObjectiveStatistics etc. to call super.super.finalStatistics(...) without calling super.finalStatistics(...)

finalStatistics

public void finalStatistics(EvolutionState state,
                            int result)

Logs the best individual of the run.

Specified by:

finalStatistics in interface SteadyStateStatisticsForm

Overrides:

finalStatistics in class Statistics
