henicosaiconization

... okay, so it might seam like im grasping for words here but if  im correct that is a real word. Using the prefix hen-, which is one, and icosa-, which is 20. i get 21, these are Greek . using the icon root word i have picture. and -ization is the act of  making.  so all together i get the act of making 21 pictures/images, if im using the laws of English correctly...  Well I made a script that plotted all the finesses for each simulation. Here is the plots for mutation rate of one... idk why but when i run this script on joey i get this weird outcome.  Some have a weird kind of sine wave flow to them, and others are strait forward. the top one is the chart with all of the following in one. This top one show that even though the average growth levels off at around 25 generations, the system still explores. The other charts shows that each time is a different case but for the most part the system looks around.

following this post will be others.
one will be some of the charts that where made
another will be some problems I had/having with latex/bibtex
and this one will be about today
so... uh oh, the following is an email

collaboration computation integration discombobulation frustration

As of now the genetic algorithm is ready for Peters program, the problem is that the system peters is using does not have any function for a feed back. The target zones are hard coded values, and the python back end cannot communicate those values back to the Ga. Peter is working of the issue, the change would allow for feed back, but its in the python. 

This problem is being worked on by the both of us. I am trying to make my program more user friendly, so thats on the agenda.

quadrilateralization

With all the data collected, I now need to make charts and stuff to understand what the data is saying. I have already made a python script that could make a box and whiskers plot given a file, so all I need/needed to do was to get all the log files fitness. I thought i could do this in java, but i know so little of python that I would give it a try. So far I have been able to get plots of each simulation. Now i need to get the plot that represents all the generation of each simulation... so like superimpose all of the simulations into one file. I also want to make it a one stop so I dont have to call anything else.  The challenge is that I have to add one array to the end of another array... I dont know how to do this... I think i can just call append, but I... well really i just have to toy with it...

pixelization

Just a promised, all the pictures.

area of work

screen shot of program running

screen shot of evaluation... and errors

shot of ball plate errors

elation

finally. all 21 samples of all 10 mutation rates is complete. now I just have to averege out the data and plot it. yah. and it only took .....emm well im done any how.

Ps I have screen shots of computers i was using but its on the macs in the office...and its raining so i will get them later...

perpetuation

right now it is about 12:00 and I still have not been able to get solid good simulation. Starting at 10 in the morning I was just running the computers. after every run I would reset the evals and ballPlates. The problem is that after x amount of time...x being some number based on the machines feelings... the runs would have crash...meaning that all the finesses would be either 0.0 or .1928... in some cases when I would start all 10 runs all would fail. This is what my day consisted of. running resetting, waiting, evaluating, sorting, deleting and repeating. In many cases only one run would come out with out more then 10 % collapse per generation. I would not it was based on the mutation rate...more of the machines that I was using. I found that the simulations on joey25 and up would last. my guess is that they are used less then the rest so they last longer. In any case I'm going to leave the runs now going and check in the morning. up to this point I have .1-.8 and I'm just waiting on .99 and .9.

Ps I used .99 because my GenAlgo will not take any mutation rate out of 0-1 so i though .99 would be really close to 1

revitalization

It was discovered that the link to the Utah computer was rejecting my/ Clemson`s request, so that was put on the back burner. Yesterday and today are the same thing. I am running the mutation runs again, but with 40 threads 40 individuals and 50 generations. If all is okay I can sneak in three simulations before the machine starts to pop zeros. The cause is still not  found, but there is a correlation to the work done by the machine. But in any case I'm just finishing up the simulation. In my GenAlgo there's some bugs... not stop the presses type but still... but there is also this nifty... yes, yes i did use that word... design that I can rerun a simulation with a simple yes. So all I have to do is restart the evals and the ballPlates... laziness prevails...
