org.moeaframework.core.indicator.R3Indicator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Indicator

public class R3Indicator
extends RIndicator

Computes the R3 indicator. The R3 indicator is a utility ratio, or the value of the R2 indicator divided by the reference set utility. Values range from [-inf, inf] with values nearer to -inf preferred.

Constructor Details

R3Indicator

public R3Indicator(Problem problem,
 int subdivisions,
 NondominatedPopulation referenceSet)

Constructs a new R3 indicator using the Chebyshev utility function. The default normalization procedure, as specified by DefaultNormalizer, is used.

Parameters:

problem - the problem

subdivisions - the number of subdivisions along each objective

referenceSet - the reference set

R3Indicator

public R3Indicator(Problem problem,
 int subdivisions,
 NondominatedPopulation referenceSet,
 Normalizer normalizer,
 RIndicator.UtilityFunction utilityFunction)

Constructs a new R3 indicator using the specified utility function.

Parameters:

problem - the problem

subdivisions - the number of subdivisions along each objective

referenceSet - the reference set

normalizer - the user-provided normalizer, or null if the default is used

utilityFunction - the utility function

Method Details

evaluate

public double evaluate(NondominatedPopulation population)

Description copied from interface: Indicator

Returns the value of this unary quality indicator given the specified non-dominated population.
