Metrics
Solutions are compared on the basis of their difference from the best found solutions. Heuristics are considered better than each other if they are significantly better with at least 95% confidence level.
Logs
We want to log everything we can think of, including but not limited to:
- Solution score before move
- Solution score after move
- Solution change (absolute value of the truck routes' deltas)
- All information about the customer(s) moved (is there a correlation between any of the factors, for example with time window and improvement?)
- All information concerning the greedy moves in the guts of a cycle (what moves where and when)
- All the other log information we're currently storing
