Detailed Description

Class for provably-convergent local surrogate-based optimization and nonlinear least squares.

This minimizer uses a SurrogateModel to perform minimization based on local, global, or hierarchical surrogates. It achieves provable convergence through the use of a sequence of trust regions and the application of surrogate corrections at the trust region centers.

Member Function Documentation

◆ initialize_graphics()

void initialize_graphics ( int  iterator_server_id = 1)
protectedvirtual

initialize graphics customized for surrogate-based iteration

Surrogate-based local (data-fit) specializes graphics to output trust region centers. See OutputManager::add_tabular_data in DataFitSurrBasedLocalMinimizer. Other children don't do any output

Reimplemented from Iterator.

References Model::create_2d_plots(), Model::create_tabular_datastream(), OutputManager::graph2DFlag, OutputManager::graphics(), OutputManager::graphics_counter(), Iterator::iteratedModel, Iterator::methodName, ParallelLibrary::output_manager(), Iterator::parallelLib, Graphics::set_x_labels2d(), OutputManager::tabular_counter_label(), OutputManager::tabularDataFlag, and Model::truth_model().

◆ pre_run()

void pre_run ( )
protectedvirtual

pre-run portion of run (optional); re-implemented by Iterators which can generate all Variables (parameter sets) a priori

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

◆ core_run()

void core_run ( )
protectedvirtual

Performs local surrogate-based minimization by minimizing local, global, or hierarchical surrogates over a series of trust regions.

Trust region-based strategy to perform surrogate-based optimization in subregions (trust regions) of the parameter space. The minimizer operates on approximations in lieu of the more expensive simulation-based response functions. The size of the trust region is adapted according to the agreement between the approximations and the true response functions.

Reimplemented from Iterator.

◆ post_run()

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 Minimizer.

◆ compute_trust_region_ratio()

void compute_trust_region_ratio ( SurrBasedLevelData &  tr_data,
bool  check_interior = false 
)
protected

compute trust region ratio (for SBLM iterate acceptance and trust region resizing) and check for soft convergence (diminishing returns)

Assess acceptance of SBLM iterate (trust region ratio or filter) and compute soft convergence metrics (number of consecutive failures, min trust region size, etc.) to assess whether the convergence rate has decreased to a point where the process should be terminated (diminishing returns).

)
protected

◆ update_penalty()

void update_penalty ( const RealVector &  fns_center_truth,
const RealVector &  fns_star_truth 
)
protected

initialize and update the penaltyParameter

Scaling of the penalty value is important to avoid rejecting SBLM iterates which must increase the objective to achieve a reduction in constraint violation. In the basic penalty case, the penalty is ramped exponentially based on the iteration counter. In the adaptive case, the ratio of relative change between center and star points for the objective and constraint violation values is used to rescale penalty values.
