  abstract     = {{Assessing the performance of stochastic optimization algorithms in the field of multi-objective optimization is of utmost importance. Besides the visual comparison of the obtained approximation sets, more sophisticated methods have been proposed in the last decade, e. g., a variety of quantitative performance indicators or statistical tests. In this paper, we present tools implemented in the R package ecr, which assist in performing comprehensive and sound comparison and evaluation of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms following recommendations from the literature.}},

  abstract     = {{Performance comparisons of optimization algorithms are heavily influenced by the underlying indicator(s). In this paper we investigate commonly used performance indicators for single-objective stochastic solvers, such as the Penalized Average Runtime (e.g., PAR10) or the Expected Running Time (ERT), based on exemplary benchmark performances of state-of-the-art inexact TSP solvers. Thereby, we introduce a methodology for analyzing the effects of (usually heuristically set) indicator parametrizations - such as the penalty factor and the method used for aggregating across multiple runs - w.r.t. the robustness of the considered optimization algorithms.}},
