The name "eta" is used as an argument to many mutation/recombination functions with very vauge descriptions as "distance parameters of the crossover distribution". This could be more specific. At the very least, it would really help to say something like, for example, "increasing eta increases the distribution/variation allowed in the mutation".
For example, it is very hard for me to tell if increasing eta will cause larger or smaller mutations via mutPolynomial. Can you tell me which one it is?
