Genex v1.0.1-beta Genex.Types.Chromosome View Source

Genex representation of a single solution.

A Chromosome represents one solution to the problem you are trying to solve. Solutions are encoded into a collection of genes. The Chromosome is then evaluated based on some criteria you define.

Chromosomes in Genex can be defined as very "self-aware." That is to say: they contain all of the information necessary to repair and evaluate themselves. This fact can be used for some interesting applications.

Chromosome type.

Chromosomes are represented as a %Chromosome{}. At a minimum a chromosome needs :genes, :f, and :collection.

Fields

:genes: Enum containing genotype representation.
:size: non_neg_integer representing size of chromosome.
:age: non_neg_integer representing age of chromosome.
:fitness: number or Enum representing fitness(es) of chromosome.
:weights: number or Enum representing weights of each objective.
:f: Function used to evaluate chromosome.
:collection: Function used to store chromosome.
