The Class "PGBOAlgorithm" implements the PGBO algortihm : Population Genetics Based Optimizer, developped by Hervé Le Nagard [1].
Objects form the Class PGBOAlgorithm can be created by calls of the form PGBOAlgorithm(...) where
(...) are the parameters for the PGBOAlgorithm objects.
N:A numeric giving the population size.
muteEffect:A numeric giving the mutation effect.
max_iteration:A numeric giving the maximum of iterations.
iteration_fin:A numeric giving the last iteration.
showProcess:A boolean to show or not the process.
OptimalDesign:A Design object giving the optimal design.
resultsPGBO:A list giving the optimal D-criterion computed during the process.
