NAME
Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Selector - Abstract base class for population selectors
SYNOPSIS
package My::Selector;
use base ' Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Selector';Base Class
Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base
DESCRIPTION
Abstract base class for population selectors; defines a few instance variables and interface elements
METHODS
new( $output_population_size )
Creates a new selector which outputs a fixed amount of individuals. This goes to the base class, since all selectors must know in advance how many they need to generate
apply
Applies the tournament selection to a population, returning another of the set size. This is an abstract method that should be implemented by descendants.
