◆ MakeChildren()

void TMVA::GeneticPopulation::MakeChildren ( )

Creates children out of members of the current generation.

Children have a combination of the coefficients of their parents

Definition at line 122 of file GeneticPopulation.cxx.

◆ MakeCopies()

void TMVA::GeneticPopulation::MakeCopies ( int  number)

Produces offspring which is are copies of their parents.

Parameters:

  • int number : the number of the last individual to be copied

Definition at line 107 of file GeneticPopulation.cxx.

◆ MakeSex()

TMVA::GeneticGenes TMVA::GeneticPopulation::MakeSex ( TMVA::GeneticGenes  male,
TMVA::GeneticGenes  female 
)
private

this function takes two individuals and produces offspring by mixing (recombining) their coefficients.

Definition at line 139 of file GeneticPopulation.cxx.

◆ Mutate()

void TMVA::GeneticPopulation::Mutate ( Double_t  probability = 20,
Int_t  startIndex = 0,
Bool_t  near = kFALSE,
Double_t  spread = 0.1,
Bool_t  mirror = kFALSE 
)

Mutates the individuals in the genePool.

Parameters:

  • double probability : gives the probability (in percent) of a mutation of a coefficient
  • int startIndex : leaves unchanged (without mutation) the individuals which are better ranked than indicated by "startIndex". This means: if "startIndex==3", the first (and best) three individuals are not mutated. This allows to preserve the best result of the current Generation for the next generation.
  • Bool_t near : if true, the mutation will produce a new coefficient which is "near" the old one (gaussian around the current value)
  • double spread : if near==true, spread gives the sigma of the gaussian
  • Bool_t mirror : if the new value obtained would be outside of the given constraints the value is mapped between the constraints again. This can be done either by a kind of periodic boundary conditions or mirrored at the boundary. (mirror = true seems more "natural")
