-main clj

(-main & args)

I don't do a whole lot ... yet.

build-individual clj

(build-individual genetic-sequence fitness-function)

(build-individual genetic-sequence parent-coll age fitness-function)

Generate a new individual, and evaluate the fitness of the genetic sequence.

build-population clj

(build-population population-size alleles sequence-length fitness-function)

Build population-size individuals by invoking build-individual on random, conforming genetic sequences.

evolve clj

(evolve allele-set
        genome-length
        population-size
        generations
        fitness-function
        binary-operators
        unary-operators)

(evolve allele-set
        genome-length
        population-size
        generations
        fitness-function
        binary-operators
        unary-operators
        options)

Create and evolve a population under the specified conditions until a termination criteria is reached allele-set is a collection of legal genome values genome-length is the enforced size of each genetic sequence population-size is the enforced number of individuals that will be created generations is the number of iterations the algorithm will cycle through fitness-function is a partial function accepting generated sequences to evaluate solution qualities binary-operators is a collection of partial functions accepting and returning 1 or more individuals unary-operators is a collection of partial functions accepting and returning exactly 1 individual options an optional map of pre-specified keywords to values that further tune the behavior of nature. Current examples follow: :carry-over an integer representing the top n individuals to be carried over between each generation. Default is 1 :solutions an integer representing the top n individuals to return after evolution completes. Default is 1

generate-sequence clj

(generate-sequence alleles sequence-length)

Creates a genetic sequence of sequence-length elements, where each item is in the collection of alleles

uuid clj

(uuid)

More idiomatic wrapper around Java's v1 UUID functionality
