ChromosomeBase Class

Chromosomes' base class.

Inheritance Hierarchy

Namespace: Accord.Genetic
Assembly: Accord.Genetic (in Accord.Genetic.dll) Version: 3.8.0

Syntax

public abstract class ChromosomeBase : IChromosome, 
	IComparable

Public MustInherit Class ChromosomeBase
	Implements IChromosome, IComparable

The ChromosomeBase type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	ChromosomeBase	Initializes a new instance of the ChromosomeBase class

Properties

	Name	Description
	Fitness	Chromosome's fitness value.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Clone	Clone the chromosome.
	CompareTo	Compare two chromosomes.
	CreateNew	Create new random chromosome with same parameters (factory method).
	Crossover	Crossover operator.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Evaluate	Evaluate chromosome with specified fitness function.
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	Generate	Generate random chromosome value.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Mutate	Mutation operator.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Fields

	Name	Description
	fitness	Chromosome's fitness value.

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	HasMethod	Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	IsEqual	Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices. (Defined by Matrix.)
	To(Type)	Overloaded. Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToT	Overloaded. Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)

Remarks

The base class provides implementation of some IChromosome methods and properties, which are identical to all types of chromosomes.
