Abstract
A method is described for using a computer in finding solutions to a problem dependent on a number of criteria. A model algorithm is provided for each of the criteria, each model algorithm providing a prediction for a corresponding criteria when a candidate solution is inputted into the model algorithm. At least one model algorithm provides a prediction with a prediction error bar for the corresponding criteria. Criteria are selected to optimise a set of candidate solutions. An algorithm is provided for optimisation of the set of candidate solutions in accordance with the selected criteria. A first set of candidate solutions is provided and the optimisation algorithm generates one or more new candidate solutions. All candidate solutions are inputted into the number of model algorithms to obtain predictions and at least one prediction error bar. Information of the set of candidate solutions obtained by the generation and/or previous optimisations and/or experiments is used to select candidate solutions from the set to obtain an optimised set of candidate solutions.
