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.
