ga_Population {GA}

Population initialization in genetic algorithms

Description

Functions for creating a random initial population to be used in genetic algorithms.

Usage

gabin_Population(object, ...)

gareal_Population(object, ...)

gaperm_Population(object, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class "ga", usually resulting from a call to function ga.

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

gabin_Population generates a random population of object@nBits binary values;

gareal_Population generates a random (uniform) population of real values in the range [object@min, object@max];

gaperm_Population generates a random (uniform) population of integer values in the range [object@min, object@max].

Value

Return a matrix of dimension object@popSize times the number of decision variables.
