Default Gaussian mutation operator known from Evolutionary Algorithms.
This mutator is applicable only for representation="float". Given
an individual \(\mathbf{x} \in R^l\) this mutator adds a Gaussian
distributed random value to each component of \(\mathbf{x}\), i.~e.,
\(\tilde{\mathbf{x}}_i = \mathbf{x}_i + \sigma \mathcal{N}(0, 1)\).
mutGauss(ind, p = 1L, sdev = 0.05, lower, upper)[numeric]
[numeric]
Numeric vector / individual to mutate.
[numeric(1)]
Probability of mutation for the gauss mutation operator.
[numeric(1)
Standard deviance of the Gauss mutation, i. e., the mutation strength.
[numeric]
Vector of minimal values for each parameter of the decision space.
[numeric]
Vector of maximal values for each parameter of the decision space.
