Settings or Optimize Settings
Input
Combinatorial, Sequential, Genetic, Random, or Defaults (default is Combinatorial)
Description
Chooses how the parameter space is searched. The Multiple Tests and Optimization topic describes each mode in detail; in brief:
•Combinatorial tests every combination of the checked parameter values (exhaustive nested loop).
•Sequential sweeps one parameter at a time, locking in each parameter's best-scoring value before moving to the next.
•Genetic randomly mutates a subset of parameters each step (see OptMutatePct), keeping changes that improve the score.
•Random rerolls every parameter before each test and ignores the score — useful for studying the distribution of outcomes.
•Defaults (shown as "Defaults Only" in the dialog) runs once using each parameter's default value — equivalent to unchecking every parameter.
Notes
Genetic and Random modes require OptIterations to set how many tests to run. Sequential and Genetic searches are driven by OptScoreCol.
