  +--jaga.evolve.BitMutator

All Implemented Interfaces:

GeneticOperator, java.io.Serializable

public class BitMutator

extends java.lang.Object

implements GeneticOperator

Flips bit in the genotype according to a probabilty. This also performs reproduction when mutation probability is low. Works with variable length genotypes.
