Benefit

The benefit tab allows you to specify a benefit for each value of the target. Values specified are applied to the cost benefit matrix. Specify benefits is useful when the cost benefit matrix contains a great number of target values; benefits allow you to indicate the most important values.

Follow these steps to tune a model using benefit.

  1. In the Property Inspector for the build node, go to the Models tab. Select the model that you want to tune and click tune selected model

    Select Tune from the menu. The Tune Settings dialog opens in a new tab. In Tune Settings, go to the Benefit tab.

  2. Select the target value for tuning from the Target Value list.

  3. Specify benefit values for the target value selected. Benefit values can be positive or negative. If there is more benefit from a target value, the benefit value should be higher than other benefit values. The default benefit value for each target value is 0.

    Type the benefit value for the selected target in the Benefit box and click Apply to update the Cost Benefits matrix.

  4. When you are done specifying benefit values, click Tune in the right-hand column. Click View to see the derived cost matrix.

When you done tuning, either click OK to accept the tuning or Cancel to cancel.
