Constructor Details

LinearDominanceComparator

public LinearDominanceComparator(double... weights)

Constructs a new dominance comparator using a weighted linear aggregate function and constraints. One weight should be given for each objective; if fewer weights are provided, the last weight is repeated for the remaining objectives. Defaults to weights of 1.0 if none are provided.

Parameters:

weights - the weight vector

Method Details

getWeights

public double[] getWeights()

Description copied from interface: AggregateObjectiveComparator

Returns the weights used by this aggregate function.

Specified by:

getWeights in interface AggregateObjectiveComparator

Returns:

the weights

calculateFitness

public double calculateFitness(Solution solution)

Description copied from interface: AggregateObjectiveComparator

Calculates the aggregate (fitness) value of the solution using this aggregate function.

Specified by:

calculateFitness in interface AggregateObjectiveComparator

Parameters:

solution - the solution

Returns:

the aggregate value (smaller is better)
