Overview of performance values

The following statistics were calculated from the performance values of each algorithm:

obs (number of observations within performance values)
nas (number of NAs, i.e., missing values, within performance values)
min (minimum), mean (arithmetic mean), max (maximum), sd (standard deviation)
qu_1st (1st quartile = lower quartile = 25%-quantile)
med (median = 50%-quantile)
qu_3rd (3rd quartile = upper quartile = 75%-quantile)
coeff_var (coefficient of variation = standard deviation / arithmetic mean)

Dominated Algorithms

Here, you'll find an overview of dominating/dominated algorithms:
None of the algorithms was superior to any of the other.

An algorithm (A) is considered to be superior to an other algorithm (B), if it has at least an equal performance on all instances (compared to B) and if it is better on at least one of them. A missing value is automatically a worse performance. However, instances which could not be solved by either one of the algorithms, were not considered for the dominance relation.

Visualisations

Important note w.r.t. some of the following plots:
If appropriate, we imputed performance values for failed or censored runs. We used max + 0.3 * (max - min), in case of minimization problems, or min - 0.3 * (max - min), in case of maximization problems.
In addition, a small noise is added to the imputed values (except for the cluster matrix, based on correlations, which is shown at the end of this page).

Clustering algorithms based on their correlations

The following figure shows the correlations of the ranks of the performance values. Per default it will show the correlation coefficient of spearman. Missing values were imputed prior to computing the correlation coefficients. The algorithms are ordered in a way that similar (highly correlated) algorithms are close to each other. Per default the clustering is based on hierarchical clustering, using Ward's method.
