evolve: Evolve a population for a number of generations

In briandconnelly/mutationtree: Tree-based model of mutation dynamics

Description

evolve subjects the given population to a number of rounds of evolution. During this process, the population first reproduces via reproduce, creating the next generation.

Usage

evolve(population, generations = 1, start = 1, population_size,
  mutation_rate, progress_bar = TRUE)

Arguments

population	A mutationtree population
generations	The number of generations to evolve (positive integer, default: 1)
start	Start generation number (default: 1)
population_size	The size of the resulting population. Since reproduction is done stochastically, the resulting population may not be this exact value.
mutation_rate	Rate at which mutations arise
progress_bar	Whether or not to show a progress bar (default: True)

Value

A modified mutationtree population

Note

This function simply calls reproduce, mutate, and then prune on the population for the specified number of cycles (generations).
