Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base
"Easy" to use, single generation of an evolutionary algorithm. Takes an arrayref of operators as input, or defines bitflip-mutation and 2-point crossover as default. The apply method applies a single iteration of the algorithm to the population it takes as input
apply
Creates an algorithm that optimizes the handled fitness function and reference to an array of operators. If this reference is null, an array consisting of bitflip mutation and 2 point crossover is generated. Which, of course, might not what you need in case you don't have a binary chromosome.
Sets the instance variables. Takes a ref-to-hash (for options), codehash (for fitness) and opshash (for operators)
Applies the algorithm to the population; checks that it receives a ref-to-array as input, croaks if it does not. Returns a sorted, culled, evaluated population for next generation.
