meanFitness.BigBang: Computes the ``mean'' fitness from several solutions
Description
Computes the ``mean'' fitness from several solutions.
Usage
# S3 method for BigBang
meanFitness(o, filter="none", subset=TRUE, ...)
Arguments
filter
The BigBang object can save information about solutions that did not reach the goalFitness. filter=="solutions" ensures that only chromosomes that reach the goalFitness are considered. fitlter=="none" take all chromosomes. filter=="nosolutions" consider only no-solutions (for comparative purposes).
subset
Second level of filter. subset can be a vector specifying which filtered chromosomes are used. It can be a logical vector or a numeric vector (indexes in order given by $bestChromosomes in BigBang object variable). If it is a numeric vector length one, a positive value means take those top chromosomes sorted by fitness, a negative value take those at bottom.
Value
A vector with the mean fitness in each generation.
Details
The mean is built considering all solutions. For solutions that have finished earlier, the final fitness is used for futher genertions.
