select
abstract fun select(population: List<Solution>, numToSelect: Int, solver: GeneticAlgorithmSolver): List<Solution>(source)
Selects parents from the current evaluated population.
Return
the selected parent solutions. The returned list will have size numToSelect.
Parameters
population
the current generation's evaluated solutions. Must not be empty.
num
the number of parents to produce (the mating pool size). Must be > 0.
solver
the genetic algorithm solver requesting the selection. Provides access to the random number stream, the problem definition, and the solution comparison rule.
