getBestSolutions: Get best found solutions

Description

Get the best found solutions during the different runs of the given search applied to the given problem. This is a generic S3 method.

Usage

getBestSolutions(data, problem, search)

Arguments

data

data object containing the analysis results

problem

name of the analyzed problem. Can be omitted if the data contains results for a single problem only.

search

name of the applied search. Can be omitted if the data contains results for a single search only (for the considered problem).

Value

List containing the best found solutions during each run. May contain NA values.

Details

If the data contains results for a single problem only, the argument problem can be omitted. Likewise, if for the considered problem results are available for a single search only, the argument search can be omitted.

When writing results obtained from the analysis tools in the 'JAMES' extensions module to a JSON file, one should provide a JSON converter for the solution type of the analyzed problems if it is desired that the actual best found solutions are contained in the output file. Therefore, these solutions might not be available for all problems, searches or search runs. In case a best solution is missing for a search run, the corresponding entry in the returned list will be set to NA. It is possible that a list of only NA is returned.
