xegaDfGene (version 1.0.0.9)

xegaDfScaleFactorFactory: Configure the scale factor function for differential mutation.

Description

xegaDfScaleFactorFactory() implements the selection of one of the scale factor functions in this package by specifying a text string. The selection fails ungracefully (produces a runtime error) if the label does not match. The functions are specified locally.

Current support:

1. "Const" returns ConstScaleFactor().

2. "Uniform" returns UniformRandomScaleFactor().

3. "DERSF" returns UniformRandomScaleFactorDERSF().

4. "DEVSF" returns DEVSF().

5. "CauchySF" returns CauchySF().

6. "FBSASF" returns FitnessBasedSelfAdaptiveSF().

7. "RGSF" returns RandomGaussianSF().

Usage

xegaDfScaleFactorFactory(method = "Const")

Value

A scale factor function for genes.

Arguments

method

A string specifying the scale factor function.

Details

In the literature, several approaches have been suggested. For a review see Sharma et al. (2019).
