Population generators

Description

Utility functions to build a set of individuals. The function gen expects an R expression and a number n in order to create a list of n individuals based on the given expression. Functions genBin, genPerm and genReal are shortcuts for initializing populations of binary strings, permutations or real-valued vectors respectively.

Usage

gen(expr, n)

genBin(n, n.dim)

genPerm(n, n.dim)

genReal(n, n.dim, lower, upper)

Arguments

`expr`	[R expression] Expression to generate a single individual.
`n`	[`integer(1)`] Number of individuals to create.
`n.dim`	[`integer(1)`] Dimension of the decision space.
`lower`	[`numeric`] Vector of minimal values for each parameter of the decision space in case of float encoding.
`upper`	[`numeric`] Vector of maximal values for each parameter of the decision space in case of float encoding.
