weight_sets

List of user-specified weighting sets

Specification

  • Alias: multi_objective_weight_sets

  • Arguments: REALLIST

Description

The pareto_set specification must identify an optimization or least squares calibration method using either a method_pointer or a method_name plus optional model_pointer. This minimizer is responsible for computing a set of optimal solutions from a set of response weightings (multi-objective weights or least squares term weights). These weightings can be specified as follows: (1) using random_weight_sets, in which case weightings are selected randomly within [0,1] bounds, (2) using weight_sets, in which the weighting sets are specified in a list, or (3) using both random_weight_sets and weight_sets, for which the combined set of weights will be used. In aggregate, at least one set of weights must be specified. The set of optimal solutions is called the “pareto set,” which can provide valuable design trade-off information when there are competing objectives.
