Evaluation Function Tuning via Ordinal Correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heuristic search effectiveness depends directly upon the quality of heuristic evaluations of states in the search space. We show why ordinal correlation is relevant to heuristic search, present a metric for assessing the quality of a static evaluation function, and apply it to learn feature weights for a computer chess

متن کاملRidge structural equation modelling with correlation matrices for ordinal and continuous data.
This paper develops a ridge procedure for structural equation modelling (SEM) with ordinal and continuous data by modelling the polychoric/polyserial/product-moment correlation matrix R. Rather than directly fitting R, the procedure fits a structural model to R(a) =R+aI by minimizing the normal distribution-based discrepancy function, where a > 0. Statistical properties of the parameter estimat...
متن کاملTuning evaluation functions by maximizing concordance
Heuristic search effectiveness depends directly upon the quality of heuristic evaluations of states in a search space. Given the large amount of research effort devoted to computer chess throughout the past half-century, insufficient attention has been paid to the issue of determining if a proposed change to an evaluation function is beneficial. We argue that the mapping of an evaluation functi...
متن کاملEstimating Ordinal Reliability Using SAS
In evaluation instruments and tests individual items are often collected using an ordinal measurement or likert type scale. Typically measures such as Cronbach’s alpha are estimated using the standard Pearson correlation. Gadderman, Guhn and Zumbo (2012) illustrate how using the standard Pearson correlations may yield biased estimates of reliability when the data are ordinal and present methodo...
متن کاملTesting marginal homogeneity against stochastic order in multivariate ordinal data.
SUMMARY Many assessment instruments used in the evaluation of toxicity, safety, pain, or disease progression consider multiple ordinal endpoints to fully capture the presence and severity of treatment effects. Contingency tables underlying these correlated responses are often sparse and imbalanced, rendering asymptotic results unreliable or model fitting prohibitively complex without overly sim...
