An important issue in multiobjective optimization is the quantitative comparison of the
performance of different algorithms. In the case of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, the …

The performance of stochastic optimisers can be assessed experimentally on given problems
by performing multiple optimisation runs, and analysing the results. Since an optimiser …

… Fonseca, Viviane Grunert da Fonseca … If we consider instead multiple runs, statistical methods
are required (Grunert da Fonseca et al. 2001); this important issue will not be discussed in …

The attainment function has been proposed as a measure of the statistical performance of
stochastic multiobjective optimisers which encompasses both the quality of individual non-…

This chapter presents the attainment-function approach to the assessment and comparison
of stochastic multiobjective optimizer (MO) performance. Since the random outcomes of …

This paper investigates the relationship between the covered fraction, completeness, and (weighted)
hypervolume indicators for assessing the quality of the Pareto-front approximations …

The current compendial sterility test has a 14-day incubation time and is often the time-limiting
step in the Assess and Release Process of pharmaceutical products. There is an ever-…

… Finally, Fonseca and da Fonseca discussed several relevant issues in the empirical
research of algorithms for multiobjective problems. … Fonseca and Viviane Grunert da Fonseca …
