Hi
I wanted to know what process does the simulator use, for example if is mathematic optimization, gradient descend etc... If there is additional material to understand how it operates with each one of its features (how it asses the dynamic contribution of factors, thresholds of parameters and outcome etc...) that would be very handy
Thank you

Hi,You mean what happens in the background when you press the "Optimize" button in the Model Simulator output? This would be an optimization based on Evolutionary Algorithms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_algorithm). Mutations are changing input factors randomly with a probability of 1/m (for m attributes). Crossover is single-point cross over. We use a tournament selection.Hope this helps,Ingo
