Usage

mcfilter InputFile

The input is a gdx file with the following data:

parameter X(point, i)

Points containing binary values; use EPS when all zero for a point

parameter F(point, obj)

Objectives for the points X; use EPS when all zero for a point

parameter S(obj)

Direction of each objective: 1=max,-1=min

The output will be a gdx file called InputFile_res.gdx with the same parameters but without duplicates and dominated points.

Example

* Generate random data to test MCFilter
Set
   Ri / R1*R65535 /
   Xi / X1*X16    /
   Fi / F1*F5     /;

Parameter
   X(Ri,Xi) 'the binary variables'
   F(Ri,Fi) 'calculated F variables'
   S(Fi)    'sign on the F variables';

* The following points will be unique
X(Ri,Xi) = mod(floor(Ri.ord/power(2, Xi.off)), 2);

F(Ri,Fi) = uniform(1,2);

S(Fi) = -1 + 2$(uniform(0,1) <= 0.5);

execute_unload 'testdata.gdx', X F S;
execute 'mcfilter testdata.gdx';

* The file testdata_res.gdx will contain the results

Below is the partial log after running the above model:

mcfilter v3.
Number of records     =    65535
Number of X variables =       16
Number of F variables =        5
Loading GDX data      =      156 ms
After X Filter, count =    65535
X Duplicate filter    =       16 ms
After F Filter, count =     1070
F Dominance filter    =      249 ms
Writing GDX data      =       16 ms
