dict_selectors_random: Random Selector

Description

Random selector that disregards fitness and individual values and selects individuals randomly. Depending on the configuration parameter replace, it samples with or without replacement.

Configuration Parameters

• sample_unique :: character(1)
  Whether to sample individuals globally unique ("global"), unique within groups ("groups"), or not unique at all ("no", sample with replacement). This is done with best effort; if group_size (when sample_unique is "groups") or n_select (when sample_unique is "global") is greater than nrow(values), then individuals are selected with as few repeats as possible. Initialized to "groups".

Supported Operand Types

Supported Domain classes are: p_lgl ('ParamLgl'), p_int ('ParamInt'), p_dbl ('ParamDbl'), p_fct ('ParamFct')

Dictionary

This Selector can be created with the short access form sel() (sels() to get a list), or through the the dictionary dict_selectors in the following way:

# preferred:
sel("random")
sels("random")  # takes vector IDs, returns list of Selectors
# long form:
dict_selectors$get("random")
