xegaGaReplicate2Gene: Replicates a gene with a crossover operator with 2 kids.

In xegaGaGene: Binary Gene Operations for Genetic Algorithms

Replicates a gene with a crossover operator with 2 kids.

Description

xegaGaReplicate2Gene() replicates a gene by 2 random experiments which determine if a mutation operator (boolean variable mut) and/or a crossover operator (boolean variable cross should be applied. For each of the 4 cases, the appropriate code is executed and the genes are generated.

Usage

xegaGaReplicate2Gene(pop, fit, lF)

Arguments

pop	A population of binary genes.
fit	Fitness vector.
lF	The local configuration of the genetic algorithm.

Details

xegaGaReplicate2Gene() implements the control flow by case distinction which depends on the random choices for mutation and crossover:

1. A gene g is selected and the boolean variables mut and cross are set to runif(1)<rate. rate is given by lF$MutationRate() or lF$CrossRate().

2. The truth values of cross and mut determine the code that is executed:

   1. (cross==TRUE) & (mut==TRUE): Mate selection, crossover, mutation.

   2. (cross==TRUE) & (mut==FALSE): Mate selection, crossover.

   3. (cross==FALSE) & (mut==TRUE): Mutation.

   4. (cross==FALSE) & (mut==FALSE) is implicit: Returns a gene list.

Value

A list of either 1 or 2 binary genes.
