1Blurb:: 2Specify the probability of a crossover event 3Description:: 4The \c crossover_type controls what approach is employed for combining 5parent genetic information to create offspring, and the \c 6crossover_rate specifies the probability of a crossover operation 7being performed to generate a new offspring. The SCOLIB EA method 8supports three forms of crossover, \c two_point, \c blend, and \c 9uniform, which generate a new individual through combinations of two 10parent individuals. Two-point crossover divides each parent into 11three regions, where offspring are created from the combination of the 12middle region from one parent and the end regions from the other 13parent. Since the SCOLIB EA does not utilize bit representations of 14variable values, the crossover points only occur on coordinate 15boundaries, never within the bits of a particular coordinate. Uniform 16crossover creates offspring through random combination of coordinates 17from the two parents. Blend crossover generates a new individual 18randomly along the multidimensional vector connecting the two parents. 19 20Topics:: 21Examples:: 22Theory:: 23Faq:: 24See_Also:: 25
