Syntax: MERIT <expression> OR
PENALTY <expression>
Example: PENALTY 100*(OutputFlux/InputFlux - 1)
PARAMETERS Defines quantities to guide the optimizer. The number of function
evaluations (i.e., tempest runs) per restart will not exceed iterations,
convergence will be declared when the penalty function value in all
the simplex points is within tolerance of the best value, and the
optimizer will be restarted restarts times after converging or running
out of iterations.
Parameters: iterations tolerance restarts
Example:
PARAMETERS iterations=35 tolerance = 1e-3 restarts = 2
3.1.11. SCHEDULE Group
Stepping is not implemented in this release.
VARIABLES Tell the stepper which variables to step. These must have been
defined in a SET statement.
Syntax: VARIABLES var1 ... varN
RANGE Tell the stepper how far, and at what intervals, to step variable
varname.
Parameters: varname lo hi stepsize
STORE Supply a file name for the stepper’s results.
Syntax: STORE <filename>
