| Method Summary |
|
| public void | addChromosome(IChromosome a_toAdd)
Adds a Chromosome to this Population. |
| public void | addChromosomes(Population a_population)
Adds all the Chromosomes in the given Population. |
| public void | clear()
Clears the list of chromosomes. |
| public Object | clone()
|
| public int | compareTo(Object a_pop)
This method is not producing symmetric results as -1 is more often returned
than 1 (see description of return value).
Parameters:
a_pop - the other population to compare 1: a_pop is null or having fewer chromosomes or equal numberof chromosomes but at least one not contained. |
| public boolean | contains(IChromosome a_chromosome)
Determines whether the given chromosome is contained within the population. |
| protected IChromosome | createChromosome(String a_chromClassName, String a_persistentRepresentation)
Creates a new Chromosome instance.
Taken and adapted from CompositeGene. |
| public IChromosome | determineFittestChromosome()
Determines the fittest Chromosome in the Population (the one with the
highest fitness value) and memorizes it. |
| public IChromosome | determineFittestChromosome(int a_startIndex, int a_endIndex)
Determines the fittest Chromosome in the population (the one with the
highest fitness value) within the given indices and memorizes it. |
| public List | determineFittestChromosomes(int a_numberOfChromosomes)
Sorts the Chromosome list and returns the fittest n Chromosomes in
the population. |
| public boolean | equals(Object a_pop)
The equals-method. |
| public IChromosome | getChromosome(int a_index)
|
| public List | getChromosomes()
the list of Chromosome's in the Population. |
| public Configuration | getConfiguration()
|
| public List | getGenome(boolean a_resolveCompositeGenes)
Returns the genotype of the population, i.e. |
| public String | getPersistentRepresentation()
Returns a persistent representation of this chromosome, see interface Gene
for description. |
| public boolean | isChanged()
|
| public boolean | isSorted()
|
| public Iterator | iterator()
Iterator for the Chromosome list in the Population. |
| public void | keepPopSizeConstant()
Cares that the population size does not exceed the maximum size given in
the configuration. |
| IChromosome | removeChromosome(int a_index)
Removes a chromosome in the list at the given index. |
| protected void | setChanged(boolean a_changed)
Mark that for the population the fittest chromosome may have changed. |
| public void | setChromosome(int a_index, IChromosome a_chromosome)
Sets in the given Chromosome on the given index in the list of chromosomes. |
| public void | setChromosomes(List a_chromosomes)
Replaces all chromosomes in the population with the give list of
chromosomes. |
| protected void | setSorted(boolean a_sorted)
Mark the population as sorted. |
| public void | setValueFromPersistentRepresentation(String a_representation)
Counterpart of getPersistentRepresentation. |
| public int | size()
|
| protected void | sort(Comparator a_comparator)
Sorts the chromosomes within the population utilzing the given comparator. |
| public void | sortByFitness()
Sorts the chromosomes within the population according to their fitness
value using ChromosomFitnessComparator. |
| final protected static List | split(String a_string)
Splits the input a_string into individual chromosome representations.
Taken and adapted from CompositeGene. |
| public IChromosome[] | toChromosomes()
|
