Figure shows the distributions of the median performance metrics for all 15 runs using each combination of convergence criteria. Looking at the champion metric (ESI Table ), the median is 1 in most runs using a minimum consecutive convergence generation of 25 or higher, meaning that the global extremum was found in most runs with that criterion. Also of note, the global extremum was usually found in all runs using both a minimum Spearman coefficient of 0.7 or higher and a minimum number of consecutive convergence generations of 50 or higher, as
