moocore.epsilon_additive#

moocore.epsilon_additive(data, /, ref, *, maximise=False)[source]#

Additive epsilon metric.

data and ref must all be larger than 0 for epsilon_mult().

For details of the calculation, see Epsilon metric.

Parameters:

  • data (ArrayLike) – Numpy array of numerical values, where each row gives the coordinates of a point in objective space. If the array is created from the read_datasets() function, remove the last (set) column

  • ref (ArrayLike) – Reference point set as a numpy array or list. Must have same number of columns as a single point in the dataset

  • maximise (bool | list[bool], default: False) – Whether the objectives must be maximised instead of minimised. Either a single boolean value that applies to all objectives or a list of booleans, with one value per objective. Also accepts a 1d numpy array with value 0/1 for each objective

Returns:

float – A single numerical value

Examples

>>> dat = np.array([[3.5, 5.5], [3.6, 4.1], [4.1, 3.2], [5.5, 1.5]])
>>> ref = np.array([[1, 6], [2, 5], [3, 4], [4, 3], [5, 2], [6, 1]])
>>> moocore.epsilon_additive(dat, ref=ref)
2.5
>>> moocore.epsilon_mult(dat, ref=ref)
3.5
