Constructor Detail

Objective

public Objective(Variable variable,
                 ObjectiveKind kind)

Initializes a new instance of the com.bayesserver.optimization.objective. class.

Parameters:

variable - The variable to optimize. Can be discrete, continuous or a function.

kind - The type of optimization to carry out. e.g. Minimize or maximize.

Objective

public Objective(State state,
                 ObjectiveKind kind)

Initializes a new instance of the com.bayesserver.optimization.objective. class.

Parameters:

state - The discrete state to optimize.

kind - The type of optimization to carry out. e.g. Minimize or maximize.

Parameters:

variable - The variable to optimize. Can be discrete, continuous or a function.

kind - The type of optimization to carry out. e.g. Minimize, maximize or Target.

value - The target value when objective kind is Target.

Objective

public Objective(State state,
                 ObjectiveKind kind,
                 Double value)

Initializes a new instance of the com.bayesserver.optimization.objective. class.

Parameters:

state - The discrete state to optimize.

kind - The type of optimization to carry out. e.g. Minimize, maximize or Target.

value - The target value when objective kind is Target.

Method Detail

getState

public State getState()

Gets the state being optimized. Note that continuous and function variables have a single state.

getVariable

public Variable getVariable()

Gets the variable being optimized.

getKind

public ObjectiveKind getKind()

Gets the kind of optimization to carry out. e.g. Maximize/Minimize.

getValue

public Double getValue()

Gets the objective target value. Only valid when Kind is set to Target.
