public interface ElitismListener<TYPE>

Method Summary

java.util.List<CandidateProgram<TYPE>>

onElitism(java.util.List<CandidateProgram<TYPE>> elites) Called after selection of elites.

Method Detail

onElitism

java.util.List<CandidateProgram<TYPE>> onElitism(java.util.List<CandidateProgram<TYPE>> elites)

Called after selection of elites. If the number of elites to use is set by the model to <=0, then this method will still be called at the appropriate time, but with an empty list.

Parameters:

elites - the selection of chosen elites.

Returns:

a List of CandidatePrograms to use as the set of elites. Note that it is not appropriate to return a value of null and this will cause undefined behaviour.
