Detailed Description

template<typename GeneArray, typename Compare = std::less<GeneArray>>
class samchon::library::GAPopulation< GeneArray, Compare >

A population in a generation in G.A.

Template Parameters

GeneArray

An array(std::vector) containing genes as elments; sequnce listing

The GeneArray must be a type of std::vector.

Template Parameters

Compare

A comparison class (or struct) returns whether left gene is more optimal. Default template parameter of Compare is std::less<GeneArray>. It means to compare two std::vector (GeneArray must be a std::vector). Thus, you've to keep follwing rules. GeneArray is inherited from std::vector GeneArray has custom auto operator<(const GeneArray &) const -> bool

If you don't want to follow the rules or want a custom comparison class, you have to realize a comparison class. The following code is an example realizing the comparison class.

template <typename _Ty>
struct MyCompare
{
auto operator()(const _Ty &newObj, const _Ty &prevObj) const -> bool;
};

GAPopulation is a class representing population of candidate genes(sequence listing) having an array of GeneArray as a member. GAPopulation also manages initial set of genes and handles fitting test direclty by the method fitTest.

The success of evolution of genetic algorithm is depend on the GAPopulation's initial set and fitting test. (GeneArray and Compare.)

Warning

Be careful for the mistakes of direction or position of Compare.

Most of logical errors failed to access optimal solution are occured from those mistakes.

template<typename GeneArray , typename Compare = std::less<GeneArray>>

samchon::library::GAPopulation< GeneArray, Compare >::GAPopulation ( size_t  size )

inlineprivate

Private Constructor with population.

Private constructor of GAPopulation does not create children (candidate genes) but fills only nullptr repeatedly following the size.

The private constructor is only for and handled by GeneticAlgorithm.

Parameters

size	Size of the population

Definition at line 78 of file GAPopulation.hpp.

template<typename GeneArray , typename Compare = std::less<GeneArray>>

samchon::library::GAPopulation< GeneArray, Compare >::GAPopulation ( std::shared_ptr< GeneArray >  geneArray, size_t  size  )

inline

Construct from a GeneArray and size of the population.

Constructor with initial set of genes and size of the population.

The public constructor creates GeneArray(s) as population (size) having shuffled genes which are came from the initial set of genes (geneArray).

Note

The success of genetic algorithm is depend on the initial genes(geneArray).

Parameters

geneArray	An initial sequence listing
size	The size of population to have as children

Definition at line 97 of file GAPopulation.hpp.
