Thomas Neidhart commented on MATH-808:
--------------------------------------
I further looked into the test case and finally was able to run it (create
Algorithm interface myself and use MathArrays.distance to compute the euclidean
distance).
Imho, the bug report is wrong, as the failing tests are due to an invalid
result validation:
{noformat}
1. First equation set -q(r) + QL >= 0 <---> QL >= q(r) verifications:
1: 0.0000*t + 1.0940*0.0592 + 1.8101*0.0000 + 2.7621*0.0000 +
2.1166*0.0674 + 3.5084*0.3067 + 2.1122*0.0919 + 1.2818*0.2595 >= 1.8101
<--------> 1.81011188 >= 1.81011200
EXCEPTION: Wrong equation
java.lang.Exception: Wrong equation
at
ru.hse.cst.algorithm.InputOrientedDEAAlgorithm.findEntityOptimum(InputOrientedDEAAlgorithm.java:378)
{noformat}
Actually this is based on the following check:
{noformat}
if(sum < 0) {
throw new Exception("Wrong equation");
}
{noformat}
No, the SimplexSolver is not a perfect algorithm and has to cope with the usual
limitations of floating-point arithmetic. So the solution will only be accurate
within a given epsilon. The default one is 1e-6, so the result has to be
evaluated taking this epsilon into account:
{noformat}
if(Precision.compareTo(sum, 0, 1e-6) < 0){
throw new Exception("Wrong equation");
}
{noformat}
With such a check the test cases run through successfully. I still encountered
some "No feasible solution found" and "Max count exceeded" situations, which I
have not further debugged and are most likely happening because of test setup
(the coefficients are created randomly).
