Algorithms - Simple Multi-Objective Optimization Test Heuristic (SMOOTH)

The OSTRICH SMOOTH uncertainty algorithm

Initial Publication:

Modified:

The following optional group will configure an experimental multi-objective algorithm known as SMOOTH and will be processed if [ProgramType] is set to “SMOOTH”. 

BeginSMOOTH
SamplesPerIter      
NumIterations       
EndSMOOTH

BeginSMOOTH
SamplesPerIter      20
NumIterations       50
EndSMOOTH

Where BeginSMOOTH and EndSMOOTH are parsing tags that wrap the following set of algorithm configuration variables:

  • SamplesPerIter: The number of model evaluations per iteration of the algorithm.
  • NumIterations: The number of iterations in the algorithm.
