Exit condition

[loicspace]

Hi,

If I understand the algo properly, the optimizer after a set number of iterations, or epochs. Is that correct?
If it is the case, this exit condition may result in unnecessary computational burden. It may tedious to a priori select an adequate value for the number of epochs for the user and result in unnecessary iterations after convergence. It would be beneficial to add other exit conditions to check against. For instance, some relative tolerance to detect convergence, or stalling, and allow the optimizer to terminate the operation before the set number of epochs. It could result in large seed ups.

Thank you

Hi,

You are right about the stopping condition. Currently, pso algorithm stops after specified number of iteration. I am planning to add a user specified stopping criterion to the package. It requires some structural changes in the code. When I find the correct way of doing it, I will add it.

Thanks.
