Detailed Description

Base class for the optimizer and least squares branches of the iterator hierarchy.

The Minimizer class provides common data and functionality for Optimizer and LeastSq.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Minimizer()

Minimizer ( ProblemDescDB problem_db,
Model model,
std::shared_ptr< TraitsBase traits = std::shared_ptr<TraitsBase>(new TraitsBase()) 
)
protected

standard constructor

This constructor extracts inherited data for the optimizer and least squares branches and performs sanity checking on constraint settings.

References Iterator::iteratedModel, Iterator::maxFunctionEvals, Iterator::maxIterations, Iterator::methodName, Iterator::numFinalSolutions, Dakota::SZ_MAX, and Minimizer::update_from_model().

Member Function Documentation

◆ print_best_eval_ids()

void print_best_eval_ids ( const String &  search_interface_id,
const Variables search_vars,
const ActiveSet search_set,
std::ostream &  s 
)
static

print best evaluation matching vars and set, or partial matches with matching variables only.

Lookup evaluation id where best occurred. This cannot be catalogued directly because the optimizers track the best iterate internally and return the best results after iteration completion. Therfore, perform a search in data_pairs to extract the evalId for the best fn eval.

References Dakota::data_pairs, and Dakota::lookup_by_val().

Referenced by LeastSq::print_results(), Optimizer::print_results(), and SurrBasedMinimizer::print_results().

◆ initialize_run()

void initialize_run ( )
protectedvirtual

utility function to perform common operations prior to pre_run(); typically memory initialization; setting of instance pointers

Perform initialization phases of run sequence, like allocating memory and setting instance pointers. Commonly used in sub-iterator executions. This is a virtual function; when re-implementing, a derived class must call its nearest parent's initialize_run(), typically before performing its own implementation steps.

Reimplemented from Iterator.

Reimplemented in ROLOptimizer, SNLLOptimizer, SNLLLeastSq, and Optimizer.

void post_run ( std::ostream &  s)
protectedvirtual

post-run portion of run (optional); verbose to print results; re-implemented by Iterators that can read all Variables/Responses and perform final analysis phase in a standalone way

Post-run phase, which a derived iterator may optionally reimplement; when not present, post-run is likely integrated into run. This is a virtual function; when re-implementing, a derived class must call its nearest parent's post_run(), typically after performing its own implementation steps.

Reimplemented from Iterator.

Reimplemented in SurrBasedLocalMinimizer, SNLLOptimizer, EffGlobalMinimizer, and Optimizer.

◆ finalize_run()

void finalize_run ( )
protectedvirtual

utility function to perform common operations following post_run(); deallocation and resetting of instance pointers

Optional: perform finalization phases of run sequence, like deallocating memory and resetting instance pointers. Commonly used in sub-iterator executions. This is a virtual function; when re-implementing, a derived class must call its nearest parent's finalize_run(), typically after performing its own implementation steps.

◆ scale_model()

void scale_model ( )
protected

Wrap iteratedModel in a RecastModel that performs variable and/or response scaling.

Wrap the iteratedModel in a scaling transformation, such that iteratedModel now contains a scaling recast model. Potentially affects variables, primary, and secondary responses

◆ objective() [1/2]

Real objective ( const RealVector &  fn_vals,
const BoolDeque &  max_sense,
const RealVector &  primary_wts 
) const
protected

◆ objective() [2/2]

Real objective ( const RealVector &  fn_vals,
size_t  num_fns,
const BoolDeque &  max_sense,
const RealVector &  primary_wts 
) const
protected

compute a composite objective with specified number of source primary functions, instead of userPrimaryFns

This "composite" objective is a more general case of the previous objective(), but doesn't presume a reduction map from user to iterated space. Used to apply weights and sense in COLIN results sorting. Leaving as a duplicate implementation pending resolution of COLIN lookups.

◆ objective_gradient()

void objective_gradient ( const RealVector &  fn_vals,
size_t  num_fns,
const RealMatrix &  fn_grads,
const BoolDeque &  max_sense,
const RealVector &  primary_wts,
RealVector &  obj_grad 
) const
protected

compute the gradient of the composite objective function

The composite objective gradient computation combines the contributions from one of more primary function gradients, including the effect of any primary function weights. In the case of a linear mapping (MOO), only the primary function gradients are required, but in the case of a nonlinear mapping (NLS), primary function values are also needed. Within RecastModel::set_mapping(), the active set requests are automatically augmented to make values available when needed, based on nonlinearRespMapping settings.

RealSymMatrix &  obj_hess 
) const
protected

compute the Hessian of the composite objective function

The composite objective Hessian computation combines the contributions from one of more primary function Hessians, including the effect of any primary function weights. In the case of a linear mapping (MOO), only the primary function Hessians are required, but in the case of a nonlinear mapping (NLS), primary function values and gradients are also needed in general (gradients only in the case of a Gauss-Newton approximation). Within the default RecastModel::set_mapping(), the active set requests are automatically augmented to make values and gradients available when needed, based on nonlinearRespMapping settings.

◆ resize_best_vars_array()

void resize_best_vars_array ( size_t  newsize)
protected

Safely resize the best variables array to newsize taking into account the envelope-letter design pattern and any recasting.

Uses data from the innermost model, should any Minimizer recasts be active. Called by multipoint return solvers. Do not directly call resize on the bestVariablesArray object unless you intend to share the internal content (letter) with other objects after assignment.

◆ resize_best_resp_array()

void resize_best_resp_array ( size_t  newsize)
protected

Safely resize the best response array to newsize taking into account the envelope-letter design pattern and any recasting.

Uses data from the innermost model, should any Minimizer recasts be active. Called by multipoint return solvers. Do not directly call resize on the bestResponseArray object unless you intend to share the internal content (letter) with other objects after assignment.

◆ local_recast_retrieve()

bool local_recast_retrieve ( const Variables vars,
Response response 
) const
protected

infers MOO/NLS solution from the solution of a single-objective optimizer and returns true if lookup succeeds

Retrieve a MOO/NLS response based on the data returned by a single objective optimizer by performing a data_pairs search. This may get called even for a single user-specified function, since we may be recasting a single NLS residual into a squared objective. Always returns best data in the space of the original inbound Model.
