ParamHelpers 1.14.2

ParamHelpers 1.14

trafo allowed in DiscreteVectorParam.
Removed non-descriptive warning when a param has NA set as default.
generateDesign rewritten in R to avoid random error in C REAL() can only be applied to a 'numeric', not a 'NULL'. Function should only be slower if requirements are given in a non vectorized manner.

getRequirements
isSpecialValue
getTypeStringsLogical, getTypeStringsCharacter, getTypeStringsAll
isNumericTypeString, isIntegerTypeString, isDiscreteTypeString, isLogicalTypeString, isCharacterTypeString, isVectorTypeString
generateDesignOfDefaults

Many parameters can now be expressions which can be evaluated later while providing a lookup dictionary.
make*Param now accepts special.vals which are always feasible
getParamLengths, getLower, getUpper, getValues were made S3 to also work on normal Parameter objects

plots produced by renderOptPathPlot, plotOptPath are now always nicely aligned
removed soobench from SUGGESTS and removed function extractParamSetFromSooFunction
hasDiscrete: added arg “include.logical”
getParamSet has become a generic
OptPath: it is possible to log non-scalar values under “extras” now by starting the extra-name with a dot. These elements wll not be contained is as.data.frame(opt.path) when converted.
make*Param argument ‘requires’ now accepts expressions and quote’d expressions.
getParamIds is now S3 and also callable on type “Param”
filterParams: has new arg “check.requires”
isFeasible: new args “use.defaults” and “filter”
trafoValue: slightly robustify arg handling

isNumericStrict
getTypeStringsNumeric, getTypeStringsNumericStrict, getTypeStringsInteger, getTypeStringsDiscrete
filterParamsNumeric, filterParamsDiscrete
updateParVals

added new character parameter types, see new functions below
added property ‘tunable’ to make*Param
isFeasible supports named lists for unordered checks
numeric and numericvector Params and LearnerParams have a new arg ‘allow.inf’
filterParams can now filter based on ‘ids’ and ‘tunable’
convertParamSetToIrace: removed argument ‘digits’ to keep maximum precision of boundaries
added renderOptPathPlot and plotOptPath for plotting of optimization paths.
added plotEAF and plotYTraces to compare singlecrit and bicrit optimization paths.

added constr.clip to print.ParamSet and related internal functions to make prints more readable
getDefaults: new option include.null

sampleValue(s): ‘discrete.names’ now only affects discrtete params and not logicals anymore. logical params always result in R data type ‘logical’
Vector params (num, int and log) can now have component names
many more OptPath getter methods allow the selection option ‘dob’ and ‘eol’ to subset the result ## new functions
getOptPathX
generateRandomDesign

sampleValue(s): ‘discrete.names’ now only affects discrtete params and not logicals anymore. logical params always result in R data type ‘logical’
Vector params (num, int and log) can now have component names Functions that produce such vector values (e.g. sampleValue or dfRowsToList) will name the components of this vector automatically. The user can also call setValueCNames in his own code.

normal parameters can now have a default value
parameter spaces can now define a forbidden region of infeasibility. all operations on the set respect this, although a few are disallowed and produce an exception.
rewrote generateDesign and dfRowsToList in C to greatly increase speed in the case of dependent parameters
generateDesign and generateGridDesign do not support type conversion anymore. See help page.
generateDesign now ensures that no duplicted settings are produced in rarer cases
Added option to log error messages, execution time and extra info in the optimization path.
slightly change interface of getOptPathY, so one can now return a matrix of multiple measures.
paramValueToString produces better readable output
sampleValue(s) have new option “trafo”
getLower and getUpper have with.nr argument now
getTypes renamed to getParamTypes
