Construct a recombination operator.

Helper function which constructs a recombinator, i. e., a recombination operator.

makeRecombinator(recombinator, supported = getAvailableRepresentations(),
  n.parents = 2L, n.children = NULL)

Arguments

recombinator

[function] Actual mutation operator.
supported

[character] Vector of strings/names of supported parameter representations. Possible choices: “permutation”, “float”, “binary” or “custom”.
n.parents

[integer(1)] Number of parents supported.
n.children

[integer(1)] How many children does the recombinator produce? Default is 1.

Value

[ecr_recombinator] Recombinator object.

Note

If a recombinator returns more than one child, the multiple.children parameter needs to be TRUE, which is the default. In case of multiple children produced these have to be placed within a list.
