Instance Method Details

#get_tests ⇒ Object

Get all the tests. Basically a cartesian product of all selection, crossover and mutation methods.

#setup(&b) ⇒ Object

Pass a block that does the setup. Rarely needed. The proc is passes the population before each test (i.e. between Population.new and #evolve_silent)

def setup(&b)
  return @setup unless block_given?
  @setup = b
end

#teardown(&b) ⇒ Object

Pass a block that does the setup. Rarely needed. Called with the population as argument AFTER track_stats.

def teardown(&b)

end

#track_stat(&b) ⇒ Object Also known as: track_stats

Pass a block that returns one or more statistics to track. Block is passed the individual with the highest fitness after each run.

  • Can be used to track, for example, training error vs generalization error.

  • Default is fitness of the best solution.

  • When returning multiple values, <=> for arrays is used to determine the best individual in the info table (i.e. second elements only for tie-breaking), but min/max/avg/stddev stats are calculated independently for each component
