Detailed Description

template<class OrganismType>
class libevocosm::exponential_scaler< OrganismType >

Implements an exponential fitness scaling, whereby all fitness values are modified such that new fitness = (a * fitness + b) ^ n.

Parameters:
OrganismType- The type of organism

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class OrganismType >
libevocosm::exponential_scaler< OrganismType >::exponential_scaler ( double  a_a = 1.0,
double  a_b = 1.0,
double  a_power = 2.0 
)
inline

Creates a new exponential scaler with a given set of parameters. The formula used is new_fitness = (a * fitness + b) ^ power.

Parameters:
a_a- A multplier against the fitness
a_b- Added to fitness before exponentiation
a_power- Power applied to the value

inlinevirtual

Performs exponential scaling on the fitness of the target population.

Parameters:
a_population- A population of organisms
