Method Detail

getClone

public GaussianMutationStrategy getClone()

Create a cloned copy of the current object and return it. In general the created copy will be a deep copy of the provided instance. As a result this operation an be quite expensive if used incorrectly.

Specified by:

getClone in interface Operator

Specified by:

getClone in interface Cloneable

Specified by:

getClone in class MutationStrategy

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.

Object.clone()

mutate

public void mutate(List<? extends Entity> entity)

Perform the mutation operation on the provided list of offspring individuals.

Specified by:

mutate in class MutationStrategy

Parameters:

entity - The list of Entity instances to perform a mutation on.

getDeviationStrategy

public ControlParameter getDeviationStrategy()

setDeviationStrategy

public void setDeviationStrategy(ControlParameter deviationStrategy)

getMean

public double getMean()

setMean

public void setMean(double mean)

performOperation

public void performOperation(TopologyHolder holder)

Perform the operator operation given the current TopologyHolder.

Parameters:

holder - The TopologyHolder representing the required Topology instances.
