Bug 565455 - The STEM AI plugin called "Automatic Experiments" requires
a more flexible and configurable error function
This patch from Vishrawas Gopalakrishnan implements the requested
feature. Automatic Experiments use a Nelder-Meade downhill simplex
algorithms to automatically optimize any disease model with respect to
reference data. Previously, the error function used
(SimpleErrorFunctionImpl.java) and only computed the nrmse with respect
to reference and predicted daily incidence. Many users need to optimize
their models with respect to cumulative incidence and/or cumulative
deaths. This patchp provides a more flexible CompountErrorFunction so a
user can configure the error function used in the downhill simplex. It
handles daily incidence, cumulative incidence, deaths, or even a
combination of all three or any two.
