Load data into floatvector

[Diogo Duarte]

Hi,

I've recently started to use the Open BEAGLE library and it's the first time I'm working with EC, so I'm still a noob in this area and I'm still figuring it out. 

My question seem stupid but I'm having a hard time with this. So, I'm trying to create a GA using real-value vectors but I want to initialize these vectors with data I already have in memory, there is some way to do that? 

Also, can you recommend some tutorials?

Thanks.

Dear Diogo,

Best starting point is certainly to look at the examples. For your case see minfctfloat, which is a real-valued GA example.

For initializing the population with some given solutions, we have a feauture in Open BEAGLE called seeding. For that purpose, you can specify through parameter "ec.init.seedsfile" a file from (in Open BEAGLE's XML format) from which individuals used to seed the population can be read.

Example of a seed file (taken from the code, for bistring individuals):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Beagle>
<Seeds>
<Individual>
<Genotype type="bitstring">11111</Genotype>
</Individual>
</Seeds>
</Beagle>

I hope this would be helpful.

Christian
