Sequential Parameter Optimization (SPO)
The sequential parameter optimization toolbox SPOT was developed over the last years by Thomas Bartz-Beielstein, Christian Lasarczyk, and Mike Preuss.
The main purpose of SPOT is to determine improved parameter settings for optimization algorithms to analyze and understand their performance.
SPOT was successfully applied to numerous optimization algorithms, especially in the field of evolutionary computation, i.e., evolution strategies, particle swarm optimization, algorithmic chemistries etc.
in the following domains:
machine engineering: design of mold temperature control
aerospace industry: airfoil design optimization
simulation and optimization: elevator group control
technical thermodynamics: non sharp separation
economy: agri-environmental policy-switchings
algorithm engineering: graph drawing
statistics: selection under uncertainty (optimal computational budget allocation) for PSO
evolution strategies: threshold selection and step-size adaptation
genetic chromodynamics
computational intelligence: algorithmic chemistry
particle swarm optimization: analysis and application
numerics: comparison and analysis of classical and modern optimization algorithms
vehicle routing and door-assignment problems
bioinformatics
storm water management
differential and integral equations
time series analysis
An R version of this toolbox for interactive and automatic optimization of algorithms can be downloaded from CRAN.
