Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: REAL

  • Default: 0.08

Description

All mutation types have a mutation_rate, which controls the number of mutations performed. For replace_uniform and all the offset_* types, the number of mutations performed is the product of mutation_rate and population_size. For bit_random, it’s the product of the mutation_rate, number of design variables, and population size
