ByteVectorToDoubles

A vector of bytes (unsigned chars in C++)

This function converts a byte vector to a vector of doubles

Machine coded genetic algorithm (MCGA) is a fast tool for
real-valued optimization problems. It uses the byte
representation of variables rather than real-values. It
performs the classical crossover operations (uniform) on these
byte representations. Mutation operator is also similar to
classical mutation operator, which is to say, it changes a
randomly selected byte value of a chromosome by +1 or -1 with
probability 1/2. In MCGAs there is no need for
encoding-decoding process and the classical operators are
directly applicable on real-values. It is fast and can handle a
wide range of a search space with high precision. Using a
256-unary alphabet is the main disadvantage of this algorithm
but a moderate size population is convenient for many problems.
Package also includes multi_mcga function for multi objective
optimization problems. This function sorts the chromosomes
using their ranks calculated from the non-dominated sorting
algorithm.
