initnorm: Normal distribution based initialization

Description

The pmean and psd arguments of this function represent the mean and standard deviation of a normally distributed population, respectively. Using these parameters, the function generates a random initial population with n individuals and m variables.~

Usage

initnorm(n, m, pmean, psd, type, ...)

Arguments

n

Population size

m

Chromosome length (number of variables)

pmean

Mean of normal distribution

psd

Standard deviation of normal distribution

type

Type of output matrix

…

Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

The output matrix includes only chromosomes of initial population when type=2, otherwise The output matrix includes chromosomes of initial population and additional two empty columns for generation number and fitness values.

# NOT RUN {
initpop = initialize(initfunc=initnorm, n=20, m=5, 
  pmean=50, psd=5, type=2) 
head(initpop,3)
# }
