Returns true if I can swap into node's position.

Returns a type for a given name. You must guarantee that after calling typeFor(...) one or several times, you call state.output.exitIf

Returns the "typical" number of individuals produced -- by default this is the minimum typical number of individuals produced by any

Revises the PBIL distribution to reflect the current fitness results in the provided subpopulation.

Calculates the 'raw' fitness for the MSE (Mean Squared Error) type fitness (before the normalization from 0 to max value is done) when there are multi

throws a fatal error if index checking failed. Use this method if the index must match. @param state @param toBchecked @param index the ind

Called when new contributions arrived. The parameter is the contribution of the peer which sent the update. Therefore it is the freshest contribution.

Returns the number of elements consumed from the GEIndividual array to produce the tree, else returns -1 if an error occurs, specifically if a

Dispatches an agent with all necessary clean up. The succesful operation means sending the agent to the address, then destroying the local copy. Permi

Evaluate the expressions for the first chromosome (normally the only chromosome) @param useTrainingData if true use Training data else use Testing da

An intermediate routine on the way to creating an f format String. The method decides whether the input double value is an infinity, not-a-number, or

Doesn't do anything.

Returns the agent names that were on the node when creating this. Element type is String.

Return the allowable "neighborhood" of components that @param partialSolution A collection of components that represent a partial solution that we wi

The binary content of the message.

Decode a String representation of a solution component. @param s A String representing a component. @return A component matching the provided String.

Treat the Individual[] you receive from this as read-only.

Returns the contribution that belongs to the given node name. If the contribution of the given node is not known, returns null.

Searches down through databases to find a given parameter, whose value must be an integer >= minValue and <= maxValue. It returns the value, or minVal

Gets the names of all agents on this base. Returns a newly allocated Set of Strings. This is the only solution that is guaranteed to be thread safe.

Returns the number of arguments.

Produces the index of a (typically uniformly distributed) randomly chosen individual to fill the tournament. <i>number</> is the position of

Returns true if a > b, else false

Called whenever an individual has been replaced by another in the population.

This method initializes this @return void

Gets peers from the collective.

Interprets float at position pos based on max possible int represented by that position.

Check whether a solution forms a valid tour of all the nodes.

Returns true if the underlying class returns true for isGroupedProblem()

Returns the online status of the base. If the base is not online, communication with the outside world is not possible.

Waits until there are no outstanding workers: all pool workers are in the pool.

Called when VectorSpecies is setting up per-gene and per-segment parameters. The index is the current gene whose parameter is getting set up.

Multiply a column vector against a matrix[row][column]. Does not modify the original vector or matrix.

Mutate the weights of the genes

Returns a Lisp-like atom for the node and any nodes of the same class. This will almost always be identical to the result of toString() (and t

Returns true if I and the provided node are the same kind of node -- that is, we could have both been cloned() and reset() from the sa

Divides inds into pareto front ranks (each an ArrayList), and returns them, in order, stored in an ArrayList.

Simply returns state.population.

Called by pipelines after they've modified the individual and it might need to be "fixed" -- basically a hook for you to override. By
