computeCrowdingDistance: Compute the crowding distance of a set of points.
Description
The crowding distance is a measure of spread of solutions in the
approximation of the Pareto front. It is used, e.g., in the NSGA-II algorithm
as a second selection criterion.
Usage
computeCrowdingDistance(x)
Arguments
x
[matrix]
Numeric matrix with each column representing a point.
Value
[numeric] Vector of crowding distance values.
