population_size

Set the initial population size in JEGA methods

Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: INTEGER

  • Default: 50

Description

The number of designs in the initial population is specified by the population_size. Note that the population_size only sets the size of the initial population. The population size may vary in the JEGA methods according to the type of operators chosen for a particular optimization run.

Also note that some initializers may not strictly respect the initial population size. See the SOGA flat_file or MOGA flat_file initializer for an example.
