Method Summary

Fitness	evaluateMapping(Matrix<Double> dist) Get called in order to perform an evaluation.
void	setMappingProblem(MappingProblem prob) Gets called when attached to a MappingProblem.

Method Detail

evaluateMapping

Fitness evaluateMapping(Matrix<Double> dist)

Get called in order to perform an evaluation.

Parameters:

dist - The distance matrix for the output vectors.

Returns:

An instance of Fitness indicating the Fitness of this mapping.

setMappingProblem

void setMappingProblem(MappingProblem prob)

Gets called when attached to a MappingProblem. This is to allow one to call back to the problem in order to find additional info, such as the distance between vectors in the input.

Parameters:

prob - The instance of MappingProblem that is going to use the evaluator.
