Constructor Detail

ElitisticListPopulation

public ElitisticListPopulation(List<Chromosome> chromosomes,
                               int populationLimit,
                               double elitismRateIn)

Creates a new ElitisticListPopulation instance.

Parameters:

chromosomes - list of chromosomes in the population

populationLimit - maximal size of the population

elitismRateIn - how many best chromosomes will be directly transferred to the next generation [in %]

Throws:

NullArgumentException - if the list of chromosomes is null

NotPositiveException - if the population limit is not a positive number (< 1)

NumberIsTooLargeException - if the list of chromosomes exceeds the population limit

OutOfRangeException - if the elitism rate is outside the [0, 1] range

ElitisticListPopulation

public ElitisticListPopulation(int populationLimit,
                               double elitismRateIn)

Creates a new ElitisticListPopulation instance and initializes its inner chromosome list.

Parameters:

populationLimit - maximal size of the population

elitismRateIn - how many best chromosomes will be directly transferred to the next generation [in %]

Throws:

NotPositiveException - if the population limit is not a positive number (< 1)

OutOfRangeException - if the elitism rate is outside the [0, 1] range

Method Detail

nextGeneration

public Population nextGeneration()

Start the population for the next generation. The elitismRate percents of the best chromosomes are directly copied to the next generation.

Returns:

the beginnings of the next generation.

setElitismRate

public void setElitismRate(double elitismRateIn)

Sets the elitism rate, i.e. how many best chromosomes will be directly transferred to the next generation [in %].

Parameters:

elitismRateIn - how many best chromosomes will be directly transferred to the next generation [in %]

Throws:

OutOfRangeException - if the elitism rate is outside the [0, 1] range

getElitismRate

public double getElitismRate()

Access the elitism rate.

Returns:

the elitism rate
