plotAllScores {designGG}R Documentation

Plot scores profiles

Description

Plot all scores and the temperature at each iteration during the simulated annealing process.

Usage

 plotAllScores(plot.obj,fileName=NULL) 

Arguments

plot.obj a list containing: scores, cooling, startTemp, temperature, temperature.step, nIterations and optimality. Details can be found below.
scores A- or D- optimality score of all accepted designs during optimization process.
cooling describes the cooling step in the Simulated Annealing, defined as (new.score $-$ now.score)/ now.score.
startTemp starting temperature of the simulated annealing process.
temperature final temperature that the simulated annealing reaches.
temperatureStep temperature decreasing step in the simulated annealing (SA) process.
nIterations number of iterations in the simulated annealing method.
optimality type of optimality, i.e. "A" (A-optimality) or "D" (D-optimality). A-optimality minimizes $Trace((X'X)^{-1})$, which corresponds to minimum average variance of the parameter estimates. D-optimality minimizes $det(X'X)^{-1}$, which corresponds to minimum generalized variance of the parameter estimates.
fileName the final optimal design table(s) in csv format and a plot (in png format) of the all scores during SA process (if plotScores = T) will be produced. The users can specify the table and plot name by setting fileName. If NULL (default) it produces files starting with "myDesignGG".

Value

Draw a plot that visualizeds the scores (y-axis) at each iteration during the simulated annealing process (x-axis is time of moving)

Note

The calculation of score is dependent on the choice of optimality.
Cooling is defined as (newScore $-$ nowScore)/nowScore.
