MIP Pseudo Cost Initialization

Type : Selection

Range : The settings listed below

Default : Automatic

This option specifies the method used to initialize pseudo-costs corresponding to variables that have not yet been branched on in the MIP method. Possible values are:

  • Automatic

  • Average value

  • Strong branching

Setting ‘Average value’ implies that the pseudo-costs are initialized using the average value of computed pseudo-costs.
