mutation_range

Set uniform offset control for discrete parameters

Description

The offset_uniform type is an “offset” mutation that adds a 0-mean random variable with a uniform distribution to the existing coordinate value. The offset is limited in magnitude by mutation_scale

For discrete design variables, offset_uniform is always used, and mutation_range controls the magnitude of the mutation.
