Class RuleSpecies
java.lang.Object
ec.Species
ec.rule.RuleSpecies
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Prototype, Setup, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable
public class RuleSpecies
- extends Species
RuleSpecies is a simple individual which is suitable as a species
for rule sets subpopulations. RuleSpecies' individuals must be RuleIndividuals,
and often their pipelines are RuleBreedingPipelines (at any rate,
the pipelines will have to return members of RuleSpecies!).

RuleSpecies
public RuleSpecies()
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(...).
setup
public void setup(EvolutionState state,
Parameter base)
- Description copied from class:
Species
- The default version of setup(...) loads requested pipelines and calls setup(...) on them and normalizes their probabilities.
If your individual prototype might need to know special things about the species (like parameters stored in it),
then when you override this setup method, you'll need to set those parameters BEFORE you call super.setup(...),
because the setup(...) code in Species sets up the prototype.

newIndividual
public Individual newIndividual(EvolutionState state,
int thread)
- Description copied from class:
Species
- Provides a brand-new individual to fill in a population. The default form
simply calls clone(), creates a fitness, sets evaluated to false, and sets
the species. If you need to make a more custom genotype (as is the case
for GPSpecies, which requires a light rather than deep clone),
you will need to override this method as you see fit.
