Is there an easy way to calculate the fitness based on the seed population?

[Kevin Xu]

Hello,

I implemented the interface FitnessEvaluator and override the method public double getFitness(Measure candidate, List<? extends Measure> population) to calculate the fitness.

But this method has only two parameters, the candidate itself and the entire population. My fitness calculation also need the data in seed population. Is there an easy way to pass in the seed population? If not I suggest to think about it in the later version.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hey Kevin,

not sure if i get your question right, but maybe this helps Your initial population can be created by the factory

with 

List<T>

generateInitialPopulation(int populationSize, Random rng)

you could then pass the initial population List<T> as seed as a member to your implemented evaluator and start the evolutionEngine with 

T	evolve(int populationSize, int eliteCount, Collection<T> seedCandidates,TerminationCondition... conditions)

No need to pass the same argument for every evolve() call this way.

regards,

Klaas
