Method Details

exponentialDecay

public static NeighbourhoodSizeFunction exponentialDecay(double initValue,
 double valueAtNumCall,
 long numCall)

Creates an exponential decay function. It will compute a e-x / b, where x is the (integer) independent variable and

• a = initValue
• b = -numCall / ln(valueAtNumCall / initValue)

Parameters:

initValue - Initial value, i.e. value(0).

valueAtNumCall - Value of the function at numCall.

numCall - Argument for which the function returns valueAtNumCall.

Returns:

the neighbourhood size function.

Throws:

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if initValue <= 0.

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if valueAtNumCall <= 0.

NumberIsTooLargeException - if valueAtNumCall >= initValue.

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if numCall <= 0.

quasiSigmoidDecay

public static NeighbourhoodSizeFunction quasiSigmoidDecay(double initValue,
 double slope,
 long numCall)

Creates an sigmoid-like NeighbourhoodSizeFunction function. The function f will have the following properties:

• f(0) = initValue
• numCall is the inflexion point
• slope = f'(numCall)

Parameters:

initValue - Initial value, i.e. value(0).

slope - Value of the function derivative at numCall.

numCall - Inflexion point.

Returns:

the neighbourhood size function.

Throws:

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if initValue <= 0.

NumberIsTooLargeException - if slope >= 0.

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if numCall <= 0.
