How to log a PerformanceVector when doing optimization

Hi all,

I want to let RM optimize my params for different classification models. Basically, the optimization works and the params as well as the accuracy is written to a log file. Now, I want to save the PerformanceVector as shown below for any combination used to optimize the model.

It seems like the Log operator doesn't offer to log the PerformanceVector. Using the Write Performance operator i am only able to set a log file name which will contain the latest PerformanceVector created. I need the PerformanceVectors to be stored along with the params (like Log operator does).

This is what I've got so far:

I'm sorry that this code is not working stand-alone as my data is passed through a Java application.

I would appreciate any help.

    Hi Merlot,

    do you really need the complete performance vector? If you only need up to three performance measures, you can log them and write them to file. Btw, you can also store the log in the repository instead of a file, if you use the Log to Data operator after the Log operator.

    If you really need to store the complete Performance Vector, you can use Extract Macro to extract the current parameter values from the operators and use them to create a unique repository location based on the parameter values in a Store operator. That Store operator could then be used to store the Performance vector in the repository.

    Best regards,
    Marius
