NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Easy_MO - Multiobjecttive evolutionary algorithm, single generation, with variable operators

SYNOPSIS

#Mutation and crossover. Default selection rate is 0.4
my $algo = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Easy_MO( $eval ); 

#Define an easy single-generation algorithm with predefined mutation and crossover
my $m = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Bitflip; #Changes a single bit
my $c = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Crossover; #Classical 2-point crossover
my $generation = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Easy_MO( $rr, 0.2, [$m, $c] );

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

"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

METHODS

new( $eval_func, [$selection_rate,] [$operators_arrayref] )

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. Take into account that in this case the fitness function should return a reference to array.

set( $hashref, codehash, opshash )

Sets the instance variables. Takes a ref-to-hash (for options), codehash (for fitness) and opshash (for operators)

apply( $population )

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.
