5 Mutation options

Mutation.Name

This option contains the name of the mutation function (name of m-file). The possible mutation operators depend on the internal representation of the variables (VariableFormat).

Mutation.Rate

This option defines the mutation rate. Internally, the defined mutation rate is divided by the number of variables of the individuals. Thus, the defined mutation rate is just the factor of how many variables per individual are mutated (and not the internally used value).

Mutation.Range

Mutation.Precision

This option defines the precision of the mutation steps depending on the mutation range. This option is not necessary for binary valued representations (mutbin).
