Subject: knowing when you've improved your evaluation function

Author: Dave Gomboc

Date: 01:48:50 04/14/04

You may be interested in checking out my M.Sc. Thesis, "Tuning Evaluation
Functions by Maximizing Concordance".  An unofficial version of it is now
available at http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~dave.

The purpose of the work is to provide a metric by which one can assess whether a
change to their heuristic evaluation function has been beneficial or not.  It
includes and expands upon work reported at ACG-10 in Graz.

Feel free to post comments / questions / criticisms also!  If there's something
I can quickly address (e.g. typos) I can perhaps correct it before I hand it in.

If you have or know someone who has back issues of Computer-Schach und Spiele,
could you please check if I have the proper references for the Nunn tests (see
Nunn 1998 and Nunn 2000 in the reference section).  Earlier Fred Friedel put me
into contact with Dieter Steinwender, but I haven't heard from him in a week or
so now, and I want to be 100% sure I have it right.

Also, readers who know Dutch are welcome to verify that I've done the proper
thing with Martin van der Meulen.
