Guided Interpretation #3
•
B03 - 11/11
If HGA finds a solution with an objective function smaller than the base case, then after
completion or termination, this solution will be used as the new starting point of the Global
Regression. If HGA stops without such a better solution, the Global Regression starts from the
base case.
Note that you can stop HGA at any point, in particular if you see that it successfully
reduced the objective function.
You can experiment with HGA on the current example but it is better done in Interpretation#1,
the one using the ‘Zoned’ approach. In the others, the CPU cost is much more significant and
the process will be much slower.
This concludes the third Guided Interpretation. Again, it must be stressed that the input data
for this example is partly synthetic. The objective of the chapter was only to demonstrate
software options that can be applied to resolve inconsistencies in rate profiles.
