Self-Adaptive Operator Combinations
Description
Combines multiple operators and makes operator-configuration parameters self-adaptive.
The OperatorCombination operators combine operators for different subspaces of individuals by wraping other MiesOperators given during construction.
Different MiesOperators are assigned to different components or sets of components and operate on them independently of the rest of the components
or the other operators. An operator can be assigned to a single component by giving it in operators with the name of the component, or to multiple components by
giving it in operators with the name of a group. Groups are created by the groups argument, but several default groups that catch components by type
exist.
Details
Operators can be made self-adaptive by coupling their configuration parameter values to values in individuals. This is done by giving functions in adaptions; these
functions are executed for each individual before an operator is applied, and the result given to a named operator configuration parameter.
OperatorCombination is the base class from which MutatorCombination and RecombinatorCombination inherit. The latter two are to be used for Mutator and
Recombinator objects, respectively.
Besides groups created with the groups construction argument, there are special groups that all unnamed operators fall into based on their Domain
class: "ParamInt", "ParamDbl", "ParamFct", and "ParamLgl". A component of an individual that is not named directly in operators or made part of a group
in groups is automatically in one of these special groups. There is furthermore a special catch-all group "ParamAny", which catches all components that are
are not operated directly, not in a group, and not in another special group that is itself named directly or in a group. I.e., all components that would otherwise
have no assigned operation.
RecombinatorCombination can only combine operators where $n_indivs_in and $n_indivs_out can be combined. This is
currently supported either when $n_indivs_in and $n_indivs_out for each operator are the same (but $n_indivs_in may be unequal $n_indivs_out in
eacho of them); or when $n_indivs_in is equal to $n_indivs_out for each operator and the set of all $n_indivs_in that occur contains 1 and one more integer.
$n_indivs_in and $n_indivs_out for the resulting RecombinatorCombination operator will be set the maximum of occuring $n_indivs_in and $n_indivs_out,
respectively.
Supported Operand Types
Supported Domain classes are calculated based on the supported classes of the wrapped operators.
They are frequently just the set union of supported classes, unless inference can be drawn from type-specific groups that an operator is assigned to.
If e.g. an operator that supports p_dbl and p_int is assigned to group "ParamInt", and
an operator that supports p_lgl is assigned to component "a", then the result will support p_lgl and
p_int only.
Configuration Parameters
The OperatorCombination has the configuration parameters of all encapsulated MiesOperators, minus the configuration parameters that are named in the adaptions.
Configuration parameter names are prefixed with the name of the MiesOperator in the operators list.
Dictionary
This Mutator can be created with the short access form mut()
(muts() to get a list), or through the the dictionary
dict_mutators in the following way:
# preferred:
mut("combine", <operators>, ...)
muts("combine", <operators>, ...) # takes vector IDs, returns list of Mutators
# long form:
dict_mutators$get("combine", <operators>, ...)
This Recombinator can be created with the short access form rec()
(recs() to get a list), or through the the dictionary
dict_recombinators in the following way:
# preferred:
rec("combine", <operators>, ...)
recs("combine", <operators>, ...) # takes vector IDs, returns list of Recombinators
# long form:
dict_recombinators$get("combine", <operators>, ...)

Methods
Public methods
Inherited methods
Method new()
Initialize the OperatorCombination object.
Usage
OperatorCombination$new(
operators,
groups = list(),
adaptions = list(),
binary_fct_as_logical = FALSE,
on_type_not_present = "warn",
on_name_not_present = "stop",
granularity = 1,
dict_entry = NULL,
dict_shortaccess = NULL
)
Arguments
operators(named list of MiesOperator)
List of operators to apply to components of individuals. Names are either names of individual components, or group names which are either as defined
through groups or special groups. Individual components can only be member of either a (non-special) group or named in operators, so a name
that occurs in operators may not be a member of a group as defined in groups.
The $operators field will reflect this value.
groups(named list of character)
List of groups that operators can act on. Names of this list define new groups. The content of each list element contains the names of
components or special groups (a Domain subclass name or "ParamAny") to subsume under the group.
Individual components can only be member of either a (non-special) group or named in operators, so a name
that occurs in operators may not be a member of a group as defined in groups. The default is the empty list.
The $groups field will reflect this value.
adaptions(named list of function)
List of functions used for self-adaption of operators. The names of the list must be names of configuration parameters of wrapped operators, prefixed
with the corresponding name in the operators list. This is the same name as the configuration parameter would otherwise have if exposed by the
OperatorCombination object. The values in the list must be functions that receive a single input, the individual or individuals being operated on,
as a data.table. It must return a value that is then assigned to the configuration parameter of the operator to which it pertains.
Note that MutatorCombination adaption functions are always called with a data.table containing a single row, while
RecombinatorCombination adaption functions are called with data.tables with multiple rows according to $n_indivs_in.
In both cases, the return value must be a scalar. The default is the empty list.
The $adaption field will reflect this value.
binary_fct_as_logical(logical(1))
Whether to treat binary p_fct components of ParamSets as p_lgl with respect
to the special groups "ParamLgl" and "ParamFct". This does not perform any conversion, so a MiesOperator assigned to the "ParamLgl" special
group when binary_fct_as_logical is TRUE and there are binary p_fcts present will receive
a factorial value and must also support p_fct in this case. This is checked during $prime(), but not during construction.
Default is FALSE.
The $binary_fct_as_logical field will reflect this value.
on_type_not_present(character(1))
Action to perform during $prime() when an operator is assigned to a type special group but there is no component available that falls in this group, either
because no components of the respective type are present, or because all these components are also directly named in operators or in groups.
One of "quiet" (do nothing), "warn" (give warning, default), or "stop" (generate an error).
The writable $on_type_not_present field will reflect this value.
on_name_not_present(character(1))
Action to perform during $prime() when an operator is assigned to a specifically named component, but the component is not present.
One of "quiet" (do nothing), "warn" (give warning), or "stop" (generate an error, default).
The writable $on_name_not_present field will reflect this value.
granularity(integer(1))
At what granularity to query adaptions for sets of individuals. Functions in adaptions are always called once per granularity individuals
in input values, and the function argument in these calls will then have granularity number of rows. This is used internally, it is set to
1 for MutatorCombination, and to $n_indivs_in for RecombinatorCombination.
dict_entry(character(1) | NULL)
Key of the class inside the Dictionary (usually one of
dict_mutators, dict_recombinators, dict_selectors), where it can
be retrieved using a short access function. May be NULL if the operator
is not entered in a dictionary.
The $dict_entry field will reflect this value.
dict_shortaccess(character(1) | NULL)
Name of the Dictionary short access function in which the operator is registered.
This is used to inform the user about how to construct a given object. Should ordinarily be one of
"mut", "rec", "sel".
The $dict_shortaccess field will reflect this value.
Method prime()
See MiesOperator method. Primes both this operator, as well as the wrapped operators
given to operators during construction. Priming of wrapped operators happens according
to component assignments to wrapped operators.

Self-Adaptive Operator Combinations
Description
Combines multiple operators and makes operator-configuration parameters self-adaptive.
The OperatorCombination operators combine operators for different subspaces of individuals by wraping other MiesOperators given during construction.
Different MiesOperators are assigned to different components or sets of components and operate on them independently of the rest of the components
or the other operators. An operator can be assigned to a single component by giving it in operators with the name of the component, or to multiple components by
giving it in operators with the name of a group. Groups are created by the groups argument, but several default groups that catch components by type
exist.

Recombinator objects, respectively.
Besides groups created with the groups construction argument, there are special groups that all unnamed operators fall into based on their Domain
class: "ParamInt", "ParamDbl", "ParamFct", and "ParamLgl". A component of an individual that is not named directly in operators or made part of a group

RecombinatorCombination can only combine operators where $n_indivs_in and $n_indivs_out can be combined. This is
currently supported either when $n_indivs_in and $n_indivs_out for each operator are the same (but $n_indivs_in may be unequal $n_indivs_out in
eacho of them); or when $n_indivs_in is equal to $n_indivs_out for each operator and the set of all $n_indivs_in that occur contains 1 and one more integer.
$n_indivs_in and $n_indivs_out for the resulting RecombinatorCombination operator will be set the maximum of occuring $n_indivs_in and $n_indivs_out,
respectively.
Supported Operand Types
Supported Domain classes are calculated based on the supported classes of the wrapped operators.
