Detailed Description

A Monte Carlo optimizer.

The optimizer uses a set of Mover objects to propose steps. At each sampling iteration, all Movers added to MonteCarlo are called to generate a new proposed configuration.

The movers propose some modification, which is then accepted or rejected based on the Metropolis criterion. Optionally, a number of local optimization steps are taken before the MonteCarlo step is accepted or rejected.

If you want to sequentially call one mover at every iteration, wrap all movers into a SerialMover first, and then add the SerialMover to MonteCarlo.

By default, the lowest score state encountered is returned.

Member Function Documentation

bool IMP::core::MonteCarlo::do_accept_or_reject_move ( double  score,
double  last,
double  proposal_ratio 
)
protected

Note that if return best is true, this will save the current state of the model. Also, if the move is accepted, the optimizer states will be updated.

virtual double IMP::core::MonteCarlo::do_evaluate ( const ParticleIndexes moved) const
protectedvirtual

Get the current energy.

By default it just calls Optimizer::get_scoring_function()->evaluate(false). However, if an incremental scoring function is used, the list of moved particles will be used to evaluate the score more efficiently. Also, if there is a maximum allowed difference in scores Optimizer::get_scoring_function()->evaluate_if_below() will be called instead, allowing more efficient evaluation. Classes which override this method should be similarly aware for efficiency.

The list of moved particles is passed.
