mutation_scale
Scales mutation across range of parameter
Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: REAL
Default: 0.15
Description
The mutation_scale is a fraction in the range [0, 1] and is meant to help
control the amount of variation that takes place when a variable is mutated.
Its behavior depends on the selected mutation_type
. For offset_normal
and offset_cauchy
, mutation_scale
is multipled by the range of the
variable being mutated to obtain the standard deviation of the offset. For
offset_uniform
, the range of possible deviation amounts is +/- 1/2 *
(mutation_scale * variable range).
