irace (version 1.0)

readParameters: readParameters

Description

'readParameters' reads the parameters to be tuned by irace from a file or directly from a character string.

Usage

readParameters(file, digits = 4, debugLevel = 0, text)

Arguments

file

(optional) character string: the name of the file containing the definitions of the parameters to be tuned.

digits

The number of decimal places to be considered for the real parameters.

debugLevel

Integer: the debug level to increase the amount of output.

text

(optional) character string: if file is not supplied and this is, then parameters are read from the value of text via a text connection.

Value

• A list containing the definitions of the parameters read.

Details

Either 'file' or 'text' must be given. If 'file' is given, the parameters are read from the file 'file'. If 'text' is given instead, the parameters are read directly from the 'text' character string. In both cases, the parameters must be given (in 'text' or in the file whose name is 'file') in the expected form. See the documentation for details. If none of these parameters is given, irace will stop with an error.

Examples

## Read the parameters directly from text
parameters.table <- 'tmax "" i (2, 10)
temp "" r (10, 50)
'
parameters <- readParameters(text=parameters.table)
