Constructor Detail

### SimulatedAnnealing

    public SimulatedAnnealing()

Method Detail

### buildStructure

    public void buildStructure(BayesNet bayesNet,
                               Instances instances)
                        throws java.lang.Exception

  Description copied from class: `SearchAlgorithm`
  buildStructure determines the network structure/graph of the network. The default behavior is creating a network where all nodes have the first node as its parent (i.e., a BayesNet that behaves like a naive Bayes classifier). This method can be overridden by derived classes to restrict the class of network structures that are acceptable.

  Overrides:
    `buildStructure` in class `SearchAlgorithm`
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception`

### getDelta

    public double getDelta()

  Returns:
    double

### getTStart

    public double getTStart()

  Returns:
    double

### getRuns

    public int getRuns()

  Returns:
    int

### setDelta

    public void setDelta(double fDelta)

  Sets the m_fDelta.

  Parameters:
    `m_fDelta` - The m_fDelta to set

### setTStart

    public void setTStart(double fTStart)

  Sets the m_fTStart.

  Parameters:
    `m_fTStart` - The m_fTStart to set

### setRuns

    public void setRuns(int nRuns)

  Sets the m_nRuns.

  Parameters:
    `m_nRuns` - The m_nRuns to set

### getSeed

    public int getSeed()

  Returns:
    random number seed

### setSeed

    public void setSeed(int nSeed)

  Sets the random number seed

  Parameters:
    `nSeed` - The number of the seed to set

### listOptions

    public java.util.Enumeration listOptions()

  Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

  Specified by:
    `listOptions` in interface `OptionHandler`
  Overrides:
    `listOptions` in class `GlobalScoreSearchAlgorithm`
  Returns:
    an enumeration of all the available options.

### setOptions

    public void setOptions(java.lang.String[] options)
                    throws java.lang.Exception

  Parses a given list of options. Valid options are:

  For other options see search algorithm.

  Specified by:
    `setOptions` in interface `OptionHandler`
  Overrides:
    `setOptions` in class `GlobalScoreSearchAlgorithm`
  Parameters:
    `options` - the list of options as an array of strings
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if an option is not supported

### getOptions

    public java.lang.String[] getOptions()

  Gets the current settings of the search algorithm.

  Specified by:
    `getOptions` in interface `OptionHandler`
  Overrides:
    `getOptions` in class `GlobalScoreSearchAlgorithm`
  Returns:
    an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

### globalInfo

    public java.lang.String globalInfo()

  This will return a string describing the classifier.

  Overrides:
    `globalInfo` in class `GlobalScoreSearchAlgorithm`
  Returns:
    The string.

### TStartTipText

    public java.lang.String TStartTipText()

  Returns:
    a string to describe the TStart option.

### runsTipText

    public java.lang.String runsTipText()

  Returns:
    a string to describe the Runs option.

### deltaTipText

    public java.lang.String deltaTipText()

  Returns:
    a string to describe the Delta option.

### seedTipText

    public java.lang.String seedTipText()

  Returns:
    a string to describe the Seed option.
