  text: 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.

  text: 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.
