public class LexicographicTournamentSelection
extends TournamentSelection

Does a simple tournament selection, limited to the subpopulation it's working in at the time.

Tournament selection works like this: first, size individuals are chosen at random from the population. Then of those individuals, the one with the best fitness is selected. If two individuals have the same fitness, the one with smaller size is prefered. The default tournament size is 7.

Typical Number of Individuals Produced Per produce(...) call
Always 1.

Parameters

base.size int >= 1	(the tournament size)
base.pick-worst bool = true or false (default)	(should we pick the worst individual in the tournament instead of the best?)

Default Base
select.lexicographic-tournament

defaultBase

public Parameter defaultBase()

Description copied from interface: Prototype

Returns the default base for this prototype. This should generally be implemented by building off of the static base() method on the DefaultsForm object for the prototype's package. This should be callable during setup(...).

Specified by:

defaultBase in interface Prototype
