Understand the independent probability #15

Closed MichelleKuroda closed 3 years ago

Dear Manuel

Congratulations on your code, and thank you very much for sharing it. I'm using it for geological issues, and I would like to understand the independent crossover probability and also independent mutation probability. I was studying these topics in GA papers, but I didn't find a definition. Can you explain it to me?

Best regards,

Michelle.

Hello Michelle,

they are the independent probability for each attribute to be exchanged or mutated. In this case, an attribute can be 0 (don't select the feature) or 1 (select the feature).

Thank you very much, Manuel!

Your code is really useful. I'm writing a paper with results based on the selected attributes that I found using your code. I will cite you!

Best wishes,

Michelle.
