=head1 NAME
Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::TreeMutation - GP-like mutation operator for trees
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $op = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::TreeMutation (0.5 ); #Create from scratch
=head1 Base Class
L<Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base|Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Mutation operator for a genetic programming, mutates tree nodes with
a certain probability
=cut
our ($VERSION) = ( '$Revision: 1.1.1.1 $ ' =~ /(\d+\.\d+)/ );
use Carp;
our @ISA = qw (Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base);
#Class-wide constants
our $APPLIESTO = 'Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::Tree';
our $ARITY = 1;
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
Creates a new mutation operator with an application rate. Rate defaults to 0.1.
=cut
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $mutRate = shift || 0.5;
my $rate = shift || 1;
my $hash = { mutRate => $mutRate };
my $self = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base::new( 'Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::TreeMutation', $rate, $hash );
return $self;
}
=head2 create
Creates a new mutation operator with an application rate. Rate defaults to 0.5.
Called create to distinguish from the classwide ctor, new. It just
makes simpler to create a Mutation Operator
=cut
sub create {
my $class = shift;
my $rate = shift || 0.5;
my $self = {_mutRate => $rate };
bless $self, $class;
return $self;
}
=head2 apply
Applies mutation operator to a "Chromosome", but
it checks before application that both operands are of type
L<Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::Tree|Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::Tree>.
=cut
sub apply ($;$) {
my $self = shift;
my $arg = shift || croak "No victim here!";
my $victim = $arg->clone();
croak "Incorrect type ".(ref $victim) if ! $self->check( $victim );
my $node = $victim->{_tree};
#Build the list of primitives
my %primitives = %{$victim->{_primitives}};
my @arities;
for ( keys %primitives ) {
push @{$arities[ $primitives{$_}[0] ]}, $_;
}
$node->walk_down( { callback => \&mutate,
mutrate => $self->{_mutRate},
arities => \@arities,
primitives => $victim->{_primitives} });
return $victim;
}
=head2 mutate
Callback routine called from apply; decides on mutation application, and
applies it. If appliable, substitutes a node by other with the same arity.
Builds a lists of nodes before, to speed up operation
=cut
sub mutate {
my $node = shift;
my $hashref = shift;
my $mutrate = $hashref->{mutrate};
my @arities = @{$hashref->{arities}};
my %primitives = %{$hashref->{primitives}};
if ( rand > $mutrate ) { #Mutate
my $primitive = $node->name();
my $arity = $primitives{$primitive}[0];
my $newName;
do {
$newName = $arities[$arity][ rand( @{$arities[$arity]} )];
} until ($newName ne $primitive);
$node->name( $newName );
}
}
