Add a shuffle portfolio

Generate a portfolio of solutions for a conservation planning problem() by randomly reordering the data prior to solving the problem. This is recommended as a replacement for add_top_portfolio() when the Gurobi software is not available.

add_shuffle_portfolio(
  x,
  number_solutions = 10L,
  threads = 1L,
  remove_duplicates = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

problem() (i.e., ConservationProblem) object.

number_solutions

integer number of attempts to generate different solutions. Defaults to 10.

threads

integer number of threads to use for the generating the solution portfolio. Defaults to 1.

remove_duplicates

logical should duplicate solutions be removed? Defaults to TRUE.

Value

Object (i.e., ConservationProblem) with the portfolio added to it.

Details

This strategy for generating a portfolio of solutions often results in different solutions, depending on optimality gap, but may return duplicate solutions. In general, this strategy is most effective when problems are quick to solve and multiple threads are available for solving each problem separately.
