config_ga

Create a configuration object for the Genetic Algorithm (GA). At minimum the number of iterations
(parameter <code>iterations</code>) and the number of chromosomes (parameter <code>population_size</code>) have
to be provided.

'EmiR' can be used not only for unconstrained optimization problems, but also
in presence of inequality constrains, and variables restricted to be integers.

config_ga function

<dl><dt>iterations</dt>
<dd>maximum number of iterations.</dd>
<dt>population_size</dt>
<dd>number of chromosomes.</dd>
<dt>iterations_same_cost</dt>
<dd>maximum number of consecutive iterations with the same
(see the parameter <code>absolute_tol</code>) best cost before ending the minimization. If <code>NULL</code> the
minimization continues for the number of iterations specified by the parameter <code>iterations</code>.
Default is <code>NULL</code>.</dd>
<dt>absolute_tol</dt>
<dd>absolute tolerance when comparing best costs from consecutive iterations.
If <code>NULL</code> the machine epsilon is used. Default is <code>NULL</code>.</dd>

<dd>fraction of the population that survives for the next step of
mating. Default is <code>0.4</code>.</dd>
