LSStatistics Class¶

class localsolver.LSStatistics¶: Statistics of the search. The statistics are useful for evaluating the quality of your model. Indeed, your model is suited for LocalSolver (and more generally for local search) if the percentage of accepted moves is larger than 1 % with an annealing level equal to 0. Larger is the percentage of accepted moves, larger is the diversification of the search, better is the convergence toward high-quality solutions. If the number of accepted moves is too low, we suggests you to relax some constraints of the model (goal programming) or to augment the annealing level. A fine modeling is much preferable to a fine tuning of the search, both for effectiveness and for robustness.

Instance methods¶

LocalSolver GetLocalSolver()¶

Returns the LocalSolver object associated to these statistics.

Returns:	LocalSolver object

int GetRunningTime()¶

Gets the running time in seconds. Note that is the “real” time spent (and not only the CPU or system time). Only allowed in states Plaused or Stopped.

Returns:	Running time in seconds.

long GetNbIterations()¶: Gets the number of iterations. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

long GetNbMoves()¶

Gets the number of (attempted) moves. This corresponds to the number of explored solutions (feasible or infeasible). Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Number of (attempted) moves.

long GetNbAcceptedMoves()¶

Gets the number of accepted moves. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Number of accepted moves.

long GetNbImprovingMoves()¶

Gets the number of accepted moves having improved the cost of the current solution. Improving moves are a part of accepted moves. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Number of improving moves.

long GetNbRejectedMoves()¶

Gets the number of rejected moves. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Number of rejected moves.

long GetNbInfeasibleMoves()¶

Gets the number of moves leading to infeasible solutions. Infeasible moves are a part of rejected moves. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Number of infeasible moves.

double GetPercentAcceptedMoves()¶

Gives the percentage of accepted moves relative to the number of moves. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Percentage of accepted moves.

double GetPercentImprovingMoves()¶

Gives the percentage of improving moves relative to the number of moves. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Percentage of improving moves.

double GetPercentRejectedMoves()¶

Gives the percentage of rejected moves relative to the number of moves. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Percentage of rejected moves.

double GetPercentInfeasibleMoves()¶

Gives the percentage of infeasible moves relative to the number of moves. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped.

Returns:	Percentage of infeasible moves.

string GetInfo()¶

Returns useful info about the search while running. Only allowed if the solver has been started at least once. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped. Useful for debugging or logging purposes. Here are some explanations about the output string:

mov corresponds to the number of moves performed.
inf corresponds to the percentage of infeasible moves.
acc corresponds to the percentage of accepted moves.
imp corresponds to the number of improving moves.

Returns:	Info about the search while running.

string ToString()¶

Returns a string representation of the statistics. Only allowed in states Paused or Stopped. Useful for debugging or logging purposes.

Returns:	String representation.
