Encode and Decode an Integer Chromosome

Description

Functions for encoding and decoding a chromosome represented by integer values. Where a chromosome is a set of numbers that defines a proposed solution to the problem that a genetic algorithm is trying to solve.

Usage

EncodeChromosome(x, n)

DecodeChromosome(y, n)

Arguments

x	'integer' vector. Integer representation of chromosome.
n	'integer' count. Maximum permissible number in the integer chromosome, used to calculate the bit width of a binary string.
y	'integer' vector. Binary representation of chromosome, a vector of 0s and 1s.

Value

EncodeChromosome returns a 'numeric' vector of 0s and 1s.

DecodeChromosome returns a 'numeric' vector of integers.
