xegaGeInitGene {xegaGeGene}

Initialize a binary gene

Description

xegaGeInitGene() generates a random binary gene with a given length.

Usage

xegaGeInitGene(lF)

Arguments

lF

the local configuration of the genetic algorithm

Details

In the binary representation of package xega, gene is a list with

1. $evaluated Boolean: TRUE if the fitness is known.

2. $fit The fitness of the genotype of $gene1

3. $gene1 a bit string (the genetopye).

This representation makes several code optimizations and generalizations easier.

Value

a binary gene (a named list):

• $evaluated: FALSE. See package xegaEvalGene

• $evalFail: FALSE. Set by the error handler(s) in package xegaEvalGene in the case of failure.

• $fit: Fitness vector.

• $gene1: Binary gene.
