NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Replace_Worst - Incorporate individuals into the population replacing the worst ones

SYNOPSIS

  my $op = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Replace_Worst; 
  $op->apply( $old_population_hashref, $new_population_hashref );

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

Attempts all possible mutations in order, until a "novelty" individual is found. Generated individuals are checked against the population hash, and discarded if they are already in the population.

METHODS

new()

Does nothing, really

apply( $population, $chromosome_list )

    Eliminates the worst individuals in the population, replacing them by the list of new chromosomes. The population must be evaluated, but there's no need to have it sorted in advance.
