Hello All,
When performing iterative processes you often compare one of more values between the current and last iterations. This comparison involves a tolerance value used to determine whether or not the current iteration has generated good enough results.
My question to all out there is "Do you prefer comparing the absolute difference between iteration values or a percentage absolute difference with a tolerance value? Keep in mind that the tolerance value or % can be specified with the arguments to the procedure performing the iterations. Fixing the tolerance value or % is a bit more tricky since it may not be able to handle a wide variety of problems.
Thanks
