Arguments
Details
This package uses a terminology which may seem somewhat strange and
not obvious. The reason why this terminology has been used is however
quite simple: it are genetic (or evolutionary) algoritms so the
evolutionary terms are used:
- population
- A number of experimental set-ups. This can be one
generation or a list of several generations.
- generation
- All experimental set-ups of one experiment. One
experiment is defined as a number of parallel experimental
set-ups.
- individual
- One experimental set-up with own parameter-values.
- gene
- Parameter that can be changed for each experimental
setup. It are these parameters that are optimized.
- allele
- Value of a parameter in an experimental setup.
- fitness
- The output of each experimental setup, i.e. the
property you are using for optimizing the parameters.
