OptimInstance$assign_result()
method.

class isOptimizerBatch
now. - BREAKING CHANGE: The
OptimInstance
class and subclasses areOptimInstanceBatch*
now. - BREAKING CHANGE: The
CallbackOptimization
class isCallbackBatch
now. - BREAKING CHANGE: The
ContextOptimization
class isContextBatch
now. - BREAKING CHANGE: Remove
ArchiveBest
class andkeep_evals
parameter fromOptimInstance
.
- fix:
OptimizerIrace
failed with logical parameters and dependencies. - refactor: Optimize the runtime of
archive$best()
method and add ties method. - compatibility: Work with new paradox version 1.0.0

Tuner
andFSelector
were rejected byContextBatch
.

Archive$data_extra
.
- fix:

printed an empty list when no parameter was set. - refactor:
OptimizerIrace
automatically added theinstances
parameter toObjective$constants

parameter can be also set manually. - BREAKING CHANGE:
branin(xs)
is nowbranin(x1, x2, noise)
andbranin_wu(x1, x2, fidelity)
. - feat: Add
ObjectiveRFunMany
that can evaluate a list of configurations with a user supplied function. - fix: If all configurations were missing a parameter,
ObjectiveRFunDt$eval_many()
did not create a column withNA
for the missing parameter. - refactor: The default of
digits
inOptimizerIrace
is 15 now to avoid rounding errors. - refactor: The bounds of double parameters were processed with only 4 decimal places in
OptimizerIrace
. By default, the bounds of double parameters are represented with 15 decimal places now. Thedigits
parameter ofOptimizerIrace
also changes number of decimal places of the bounds now.

$print()
method ofOptimInstance
omits unnecessary columns now. - fix: The
$clear()
method ofOptimInstance
raised an error. - fix: The
$clear()
method ofArchive
missed to reset the$start_time
field. - feat:
Optimizer
andTerminator
objects have the optional field$label
now. - feat:
as.data.table()
functions for objects of classDictionary
have been extended with additional columns. - feat: Add a
as.data.table.DictionaryTerminator()
function.
- fix: The return of the
$.status()
method ofTerminatorRunTime
andTerminatorClockTime
was not in a consistent unit. The return is in seconds from now on. - fix: The number of evaluations was recorded as 0 in the log messages when the search space was empty.
- feat: Add a
as.data.table.DictionaryOptimizer()
function. - feat: New
$help()
method which opens the manual page of anOptimizer
.
- feat: Add
$nds_selection()
method toArchive

Codomain
class that allows extra parameters. - refactor: Objective values were automatically named.
From now on, only unnamed returns of
ObjectiveRFun
are named. - fix:
OptimInstance
,Archive
andObjective
objects were not cloned properly. - refactor: The fields
$param_classes
,$properties
and$packages
ofOptimizer
objects are read-only now. - feat: The
branin()
function is exported now.
- feat: The search space and domain can now be empty.
- feat: The budget of
TerminatorEvals
can now be changed depending on the dimension of the search space with the parameterk

bb_optimize()
function. - feat: Add
OptimizerIrace
which callsirace::irace
from theirace
package.

. - refactor: The
data.table
within theArchive
can now be accessed with$data
