Method Summary

Individual	breedIndividual(EvolutionState state, int subpop, int thread)
void	finishPipelines(EvolutionState state)
void	individualReplaced(SteadyStateEvolutionState state, int subpopulation, int thread, int individual) Called whenever individuals have been replaced by new individuals in the population.
void	prepareToBreed(EvolutionState state, int thread)
void	setup(EvolutionState state, Parameter base) Sets up the object by reading it from the parameters stored in state, built off of the parameter base base.
void	sourcesAreProperForm(SteadyStateEvolutionState state, BreedingPipeline[] breedingPipelines) Called to check to see if the breeding sources are correct -- if you use this method, you must call state.output.exitIfErrors() immediately afterwards.

Field Detail

bp

public BreedingPipeline[] bp

If st.firstTimeAround, this acts exactly like SimpleBreeder. Else, it only breeds one new individual per subpopulation, to place in position 0 of the subpopulation.

P_RETRIES

public static final java.lang.String P_RETRIES

Constant Field Values

deselectors

public SelectionMethod[] deselectors

Loaded during the first iteration of breedPopulation

numDuplicateRetries

public int numDuplicateRetries

Do we allow duplicates?

Method Detail

setup

public void setup(EvolutionState state,
                  Parameter base)

Description copied from interface: Setup

Sets up the object by reading it from the parameters stored in state, built off of the parameter base base. If an ancestor implements this method, be sure to call super.setup(state,base); before you do anything else.

Specified by:

setup in interface Setup

Overrides:

setup in class SimpleBreeder

sourcesAreProperForm

public void sourcesAreProperForm(SteadyStateEvolutionState state,
                                 BreedingPipeline[] breedingPipelines)

Called to check to see if the breeding sources are correct -- if you use this method, you must call state.output.exitIfErrors() immediately afterwards.

individualReplaced

public void individualReplaced(SteadyStateEvolutionState state,
                               int subpopulation,
                               int thread,
                               int individual)

Called whenever individuals have been replaced by new individuals in the population.

finishPipelines

public void finishPipelines(EvolutionState state)

prepareToBreed

public void prepareToBreed(EvolutionState state,
                           int thread)

breedIndividual

public Individual breedIndividual(EvolutionState state,
                                  int subpop,
                                  int thread)
