ASSIGNMENT 2 - Githubissues

azmanyasin commented 4 years ago

The first selection operator introduced was roulette wheel selection (RWS), which was proposed in 1975 by Holland. It has since been widely used in many applications of the EA, which includes scheduling, spanning tree, menu planning, travelling salesman problem, and source allocation problem. It has become one of the most prevalent selection operators, which is based on the concept of proportionality. Conceptually, the fitness value of each individual or potential solution in a population corresponds to the area of the roulette wheel proportions. When the roulette wheel is spun, a solution marked by the roulette wheel pointer is then selected. The higher fitness value with a bigger area is likely to have more chances of being chosen. The segment size and selection probability remain the same throughout the selection phase.

Based on assignment 2, please write a selection process by using roulette wheel selection and rank selection that returns two new genomes.
