ecr_opt_state
is a S3 object containing
all the information about the current state of the optimization process. It
is initialized uopn the generation of the initial population right before the
evolutionary loop is started and is updated after after a new generation was
created, i.~e., after each iteration of the EA loop. Internally the object
is an R environment which allows for manipulation in place. By default the
state object contains the following slots:
The final optimization state object is returned by the EA (see ecr_result
).
