Re: [amibroker] CMAE question

Thank you TJ - Would you mind answering one more question about the results?  Suppose I am optimizing on CAR. And when the CMAE opt is done, the first line shows 200%, followed by a bunch of lines at 100% with closely related params.  In exhaustive opt, I would ignore the 200% in favor of all the 100%'s.  In CMAE opt, does the fact that it returned one 200% line mean that it has found some sort of a plateau around those param values - i.e., would you consider trying those param values going forward? Thanks very much!

Hello,
 
Zero as default is good. In that case internally it is set to 900 * square of ( number of params + 3 ).
 
As for Runs you should never go beyond 10 because of exponential growth of search space.
 
Runs 31 means 2^31 (=2147483648 ) times larger search. Makes no sense.

Hi TJ - I read in the ReadMe that the default for MaxEval is 0, and it is advised not to change it. If I define it myself as 0, is that different from not defining it at all and just accepting the default?
 
Yes, I read that it is advised not to go over 10 runs, but in experimenting, Runs = 31 and MaxEval = 0 seems to return quite good and consistant results whereas 5 or 10 runs seems hit-or-miss and results can vary quite a bit. But maybe I am screwing things up by defining Runs as 0?

Hello,
 
This is entirely wrong combination of params. 
MaxEval should be AT LEAST 2000. Runs should NEVER be set to anything greater than 10, with 5 being resonable max.

Hi - I am playing around with the CMAE opt engine. MaxEval is set to 0 by me (instead of just accepting default). For Runs, if I enter any number up to 31, it will warn me about taking lots of time, and at 31 runs it says I have about 1.5B opt steps. If I enter any any number > 31, it may or may not warn me, and when it doesn't warn me, behavior of the progress box appears different. Am I overflowing the max allowed opt steps? Is there some limit to this algorithm? Any other thoughts why things are different sometimes? Thanks very much!
