Gilles commented on MATH-867: ----------------------------- bq. I have corrected the repair: the last assignment [...] Oops, I had missed that comment. That's much better now. :) > CMAESOptimizer with bounds fits finely near lower bound and coarsely near > upper bound. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MATH-867 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-867 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Frank Hess > Attachments: MATH867_patch, Math867Test.java > > > When fitting with bounds, the CMAESOptimizer fits finely near the lower bound > and coarsely near the upper bound. This is because it internally maps the > fitted parameter range into the interval [0,1]. The unit of least precision > (ulp) between floating point numbers is much smaller near zero than near one. > Thus, fits have much better resolution near the lower bound (which is mapped > to zero) than the upper bound (which is mapped to one). I will attach a > example program to demonstrate. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
