Setup of the CONF for the SANN

The corresponding CONF file for the SANN looks as follows. Note, all SPOT options are summarized in the spotGetOptions file.

alg.func = "spotAlgStartSann"
alg.seed = 1235
auto.loop.steps = Inf;
auto.loop.nevals = 100;
init.design.func = "spotCreateDesignLhs";
init.design.size = 10;
init.design.repeats  = 2;
io.columnSep = " ";
seq.design.maxRepeats = 10;
seq.design.size = 100
seq.predictionModel.func = "spotPredictRandomForest"
spot.fileMode=TRUE
spot.seed = 125
report.func = "spotReportSens"
report.io.pdf = TRUE

The settings can be explained as follows.

alg.func:

Specify the name of the algorithm to be tuned. Type: STRING

alg.seed:

Seed passed to the algorithm. Type INT

auto.loop.steps:

SPOT Termination criterion. Number of meta models to be build by SPOT. Type: INT

init.design.func:

Name of the function to create an initial design. TYPE: STRING

init.design.size:

Number of initial design points to be created. Type: INT

init.design.repeats:

Number of repeats for each design point from the initial design. Type: INT

seq.design.maxRepeats:

Maximum number of repeats for design points. Type: INT

seq.design.size:

Number of design points evaluated by the meta model. Type: INT

seq.predictionModel.func:

Meta model. Type: STRING

spot.seed:

Seed used by SPOT, e.g., for generating LHD. Type: INT

report.func:

Name of the report function

report.io.pdf:

Write report to pdf.

The corresponding CONF file can be downloaded from the workshop's web site.
