MACROS 1.7 Released
MACROS development team is pleased to announce the release of MACROS 1.7.0.
This release brings a lot of new features, performance and stability improvements. A brief summary of new features is given below.
Generic Tool for Optimization
- Improved performance of Multi-Objective Robust Optimization algorithm.
- Improved performance and stability of NLP solver.
Generic Tool for Approximation
- Added new techniques: TA (Tensor Approximation) and GeoGP (Geostatistical Gaussian Processes).
- Added capability to perform model validation using separate test set in addition to InternalValidation.
- Added capability to specify trends for Gaussian Processes technique.
Generic Tool for Data Fusion

- Added support of large training sets, O(100 000) points.
- Blackbox mode added, see ModelWithBlackbox class.
- Implemented Internal Validation, a number of corresponding options added.
- Added capability to perform model validation using separate test set in addition to InternalValidation.
- Documentation improved.
Generic Tool for Important Variable Extraction
- Export to human readable format (Octave) of Dimension Reduction and Feature Extraction procedures.
- Improved robustness of Feature Selection methods in case of noisy input parameters.
- Added estimation of scores variance for all techniques.
