All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ControlParameter, Cloneable

public class ExponentiallyIncreasingControlParameter
extends BoundedControlParameter

A control parameter that is defined to update itself in an exponentially increasing manner. The rate of change within the parameter is based on the percentage complete of the running algorithm.
