Jansen-Rit normal alpha — noise σ=0.1 (extreme (exploratory))

PARITYS1 · dim 6

No clear winner. The survival gap is under 10 percentage points and the balanced-score gap is under 0.05, so neither SolvSRK nor the best baseline clears the win threshold. Either works — choose on cost, licensing, or integration effort. All verdicts →

6D Jansen-Rit single column (normal alpha) with additive noise σ=0.1. Noise regime: extreme (exploratory). Base problem: NMM.2. Runner injects noise via acceptance_criteria.noise_sigma.

At Clean, best balanced arm is SolvSRK.

Values are medians across seeds, measured by Resonix Labs on Resonix hardware and not independently verified; nfev and wall are on reference lab hardware (indicative). Under injected noise only SolvSRK and the SciPy arms are run. How we measure accuracy → · Verification status →
