chc

Create new population using replacement

Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: INTEGER

Description

The replacement_type controls how current populations and newly generated individuals are combined to create a new population. Each of the replacement_type selections accepts an integer value, which is referred as the replacement_size:

The chc setting creates a new population using (a) the replacement_size best individuals from the combination of the current population and the newly generated individuals, and (b) population_size - replacement_size individuals randomly selected from among the remaining individuals in this combined pool. The chc setting is the preferred selection for many engineering problems.
