public interface CrossoverStatListener

CrossoverStatsListener uses the listener pattern to provide a flexible way of accessing statistics about crossover operations that occur. Models which require statistics about crossover operations throughout a run would typically implement this interface. GPAbstractModel already provides an implementation. There are 2 steps to using this interface to gain access to crossover statistics.

• Implement getCrossoverStatFields() to return an array of the CrossoverStatFields required, in the order desired.
• Implement crossoverStats(Object[]) which will receive these statistics in that order to use them however required - print to screen, file, etc.

Method Summary

void	crossoverStats(java.lang.Object[] stats) This method will be called after every crossover operation with an array containing the statistics requested with getCrossoverStatFields().
CrossoverStatField[]	getCrossoverStatFields() The implementing class must return an array of fields which the listening objects are interested in listening to.

Method Detail

getCrossoverStatFields

CrossoverStatField[] getCrossoverStatFields()

The implementing class must return an array of fields which the listening objects are interested in listening to. The values for each of the fields this method returns will be given as part of the stats array passed to the crossoverStats(Object[]) array.

crossoverStats

void crossoverStats(java.lang.Object[] stats)

This method will be called after every crossover operation with an array containing the statistics requested with getCrossoverStatFields().

Parameters:

stats - An array of statistics relating to the last crossover operation completed. The order of the array will match the order that the fields were requested in the return of getCrossoverStatFields() method. The array is of type Object[] but the dynamic type of each element will vary depending on the field. For information of types view the comments on the stats fields.
