Genex v0.1.0 Genex.Operators.Mutation View Source

Implementation of several population mutation methods.

Mutation takes place according to some rate. Mutation is useful for introducing novelty into the population. This ensures your solutions don't prematurely converge.

Future versions of Genex will provide the ability to define the "aggressiveness" of mutations. As of this version of Genex, mutations effect the ENTIRE chromosome.

Perform a scramble mutation.

This mutation shuffles the genes of the Chromosome.

Returns Chromosome.
