PopED (version 0.1.0)

blockopt_2: Summarize your optimization settings for optimization routines

Description

Create some output to the screen and a text file that summarizes the optimization settings you will use to optimize.

Usage

blockopt_2(fn, poped.db, opt_method = "")

Arguments

opt_method

If "RS" (random search), "SG" (stochastic gradient) or "DO" (discrete optimization) then specifc output is produced.

poped.db

A PopED database.

fn

The file handle to write to.
