New issue 37 by felix.antoine.fortin: Documentation - rewrite of eaSimple
description
http://code.google.com/p/deap/issues/detail?id=37

Following a question [1] regarding which selection operators can and cannot
be used with eaSimple, it appears that the description of the simplest
algorithm in DEAP is actually quite convoluted while missing crucial
details.

Short list of problems:
- mu, lambda and k are mentioned at the very beginning, but never used
afterward and no explanation is provided as what these variables represent.
- The notation for the population P(0), P(g+1), P'(g+1) from the book by
Back et al. is not easy to understand without reading the reference, which
is not necessarily accessible to every user.
- The selection operator registered in the toolbox has to select
individuals by sampling with replacement, otherwise no selective pressure
is applied. This requirement is absent from the documentation. See [1] for
more details.
- The pseudocode should use the same notation used in the algorithm
description.
