Re: [amibroker] CMAE behavior when optimizing control parameters?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, CMAE, PSO and most other non-exhaustive methods
are best for continuous parameter spaces. Discrete spaces 
where adjacent param values result in wild changes in fitness 
tend to be very difficult to optimize in "intelligent" manner.
