When measuring distances between different objects such as different sets the use of metrics has been well established in literature. We investigate here two widely used indicators for the evaluation of Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms, the Generational Distance (GD) and the Inverted Generational Distance (IGD), with respect to the properties of a metric. Since the outcome is quite poor, we propose further on a new indicator which is made up of GD and IGD. The novel indicator can be viewed as an 'averaged version' of the Hausdorff distance and forms a pseudo-metric under certain assumptions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
