crowdingDist4frnt {nsga2R}

Crowding Distance Assignment for Each Front

Description

This function estimates the density of solutions surrounding a particular solution within each front. It calculates the crowding distances of solutions according to their objectives and those within the same front.

Usage

crowdingDist4frnt(pop, rnk, rng)

Arguments

pop

Population matrix including decision variables, objective functions, and nondomination rank

rnk

List of solution indices for each front

rng

Vector of each objective function range, i.e. the difference between the maximum and minimum objective function value of each objective

Value

Return a matrix of crowding distances of all solutions
