initialize: Genetic Algorithms Initial Population Creation

In erickim/GA: Genetic Algorithms for Regression

Description

Creates the initial population.

Usage

initialize(Y, X, P, regType = "lm", family = "gaussian", seed = 1)

Arguments

Y	The response vector as passed into select.
X	The feature matrix as passed into select.
P	The size of the population as passed or determined in select.
regType	The type of regression, either 'lm' or 'glm'.
family	The family for 'glm'.
seed	The seed for reproducibility.

Value

A list of the P generated candidate solutions where each entry of the list contains

• variables: The variables that were selected for the population.

• fit: The lm or glm object of the fit with the above variables.

Examples

Y <- mtcars$mpg
X <- mtcars[2:11]
P = 2 * ncol(X)
regType = 'lm'
family = 'gaussian'
seed = 1

initialize(Y, X, P, regType, family, seed)
