Association Operation in Non-Dominated Genetic Algorithms III

Description

Function that associates each member of the population with a reference point. The function calculates the perpendicular distance of each individual from each of the reference lines. This code section corresponds to Algorithm 3 of the referenced paper.

Usage

  associate_to_niches(object, utopian_epsilon = 0)
  compute_perpendicular_distance(x, y)
  compute_niche_count(n_niches, niche_of_individuals)

Arguments

object

An object of class "nsga3".

utopian_epsilon

The epsilon used for decrease the ideal point to get the utopian point.

x

Individuals to calculate their niche.

y

Reference points.

n_niches

Number of reference points.

niche_of_individuals

The niche count of individuals, except the last front.

Value

Returns a list with the niche count of individuals and the distances between them.
