NAME
Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::String_Mutation - Bit-flip mutation
SYNOPSIS
my $xmlStr2=<<EOC; #howMany should be integer
<op name='String_Mutation' type='unary' rate='0.5' >
<param name='howMany' value='2' />
</op>
EOC
my $ref2 = XMLin($xmlStr2);
my $op2 = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base->fromXML( $ref2 );
print $op2->asXML(), "\n*Arity ", $op->arity(), "\n";
my $op = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::String_Mutation 2; #Create from scratch with default rate
Base Class
Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base
DESCRIPTION
Mutation operator for a GA; changes a single bit in the string; does not need a rate
METHODS
new( [$how_many] [,$priority] )
Creates a new mutation operator with a bitflip application rate, which defaults to 0.5, and an operator application rate (general for all ops), which defaults to 1.
create()
Creates a new mutation operator.
apply( $chromosome )
Applies mutation operator to a "Chromosome", a string, really.
