One should define a cost function …
1. Specific enough
To define the boundaries of the search space.
Example: Define the dose limits for the OAR over the whole
dose range.
2. General enough
Not to artificially restrict the solution space
Example: if you want to obtain a specific OAR mean dose,
do not set objectives for this OAR with DVH points.
Common sense and implicit knowledge must be made explicit
