Unique fitness based tournament selection.

The selection of unique fitnesses lifts the selection bias towards over-represented fitnesses by reducing multiple solutions sharing the same fitness to a single point in the objective space. It is therefore no longer required to assign a crowding distance of zero to individual of equal fitness as the selection operator correctly enforces diversity preservation by picking unique points in the objective space.

UFTournamentSelector

public UFTournamentSelector(Comparator<? super C> dominance,
 ElementComparator<? super C> comparator,
 ElementDistance<? super C> distance,
 ToIntFunction<? super C> dimension)

Creates a new UFTournamentSelector with the functions needed for handling the multi-objective result type C. For the Vec classes, a selector is created like in the following example:

new UFTournamentSelector<>(
    Vec<T>::dominance,
    Vec<T>::compare,
    Vec<T>::distance,
    Vec<T>::length
);

Parameters:

dominance - the pareto dominance comparator

comparator - the vector element comparator

distance - the vector element distance

dimension - the dimensionality of vector type C

• ofVec()

Method Details

select

public ISeq<Phenotype<G,C>> select(Seq<Phenotype<G,C>> population,
 int count,
 Optimize opt)

Specified by:

select in interface Selector<G extends Gene<?,G>,C extends Comparable<? super C>>

ofVec

public static <G extends Gene<?,
G>,
T,
V extends Vec<T>>
UFTournamentSelector<G,V> ofVec()

Return a new selector for the given result type V. This method is a shortcut for

new UFTournamentSelector<>(
    Vec<T>::dominance,
    Vec<T>::compare,
    Vec<T>::distance,
    Vec<T>::length
);

Type Parameters:

G - the gene type

T - the array type, e.g. double[]

V - the multi object result type vector

Returns:

a new selector for the given result type V
