Population generators

Utility functions to build a set of individuals. The function gen expects an R expression and a number n in order to create a list of n individuals based on the given expression. Functions genBin, genPerm and genReal are shortcuts for initializing populations of binary strings, permutations or real-valued vectors respectively.

gen(expr, n)

genBin(n, n.dim)

genPerm(n, n.dim)

genReal(n, n.dim, lower, upper)

Arguments

expr	[R expression] Expression to generate a single individual.
n	[integer(1)] Number of individuals to create.
n.dim	[integer(1)] Dimension of the decision space.
lower	[numeric] Vector of minimal values for each parameter of the decision space in case of float encoding.
upper	[numeric] Vector of maximal values for each parameter of the decision space in case of float encoding.

Value

[list]
