public interface PoolSelectionListener<TYPE>

Method Summary

java.util.List<CandidateProgram<TYPE>>

onPoolSelection(java.util.List<CandidateProgram<TYPE>> pool) Called after selection of the breeding pool.

Method Detail

onPoolSelection

java.util.List<CandidateProgram<TYPE>> onPoolSelection(java.util.List<CandidateProgram<TYPE>> pool)

Called after selection of the breeding pool. If the size of the breeding pool is set in the model to <=0, then this method will still be called at the appropriate time, but with a list containing every program in the population. The population essentially becomes the breeding pool in this circumstance.

Parameters:

pool - the suggested breeding pool of programs.

Returns:

the breeding pool of CandidatePrograms that should actually be used, or null if breeding pool selection should be repeated.
