class
pymoo.algorithms.so_genetic_algorithm.
GA
(self, pop_size=100, sampling=FloatRandomSampling(), selection=TournamentSelection(func_comp=comp_by_cv_and_fitness), crossover=SimulatedBinaryCrossover(prob=0.9, eta=3), mutation=PolynomialMutation(prob=None, eta=5), eliminate_duplicates=True, n_offsprings=None, display=SingleObjectiveDisplay(), **kwargs)¶ - Parameters
- pop_sizeint
The population sized used by the algorithm.
- sampling
Sampling
,Population
,numpy.array
The sampling process defines the initial set of solutions which are the starting point of the optimization algorithm. Here, you have three different options by passing
(i) A
Sampling
implementation which is an implementation of a random sampling method.(ii) A
Population
object containing the variables to be evaluated initially OR already evaluated solutions (F needs to be set in this case).(iii) Pass a two dimensional
numpy.array
with (n_individuals, n_var) which contains the variable space values for each individual.- selection
Selection
This object defines the mating selection to be used. In an evolutionary algorithm each generation parents need to be selected to produce new offsprings using different recombination and mutation operators. Different strategies for selecting parents are possible e.g. selecting them just randomly, only in the neighborhood, using a tournament selection to introduce some selection pressure, …
- crossover
Crossover
The crossover has the purpose of create offsprings during the evolution. After the mating selection the parents are passed to the crossover operator which will dependent on the implementation create a different number of offsprings.
- mutation
Mutation
Some genetic algorithms rely only on the mutation operation. However, it has shown that increases the performance to perform a mutation after creating the offsprings through crossover as well. Usually the mutation operator needs to be initialized with a probability to be executed. Having a high probability of mutation will most of the time increase the diversity in the population.
- eliminate_duplicatesbool
The genetic algorithm implementation has a built in feature that eliminates duplicates after merging the parent and the offspring population. If there are duplicates with respect to the current population or in the offsprings itself they are removed and the mating process is repeated to fill up the offsprings until the desired number of unique offsprings is met.
- n_offspringsint (default: None)
Number of offspring that are created through mating. By default n_offsprings=None which sets the number of offsprings equal to the population size. By setting n_offsprings=1 a, so called, steady-state version of an algorithm can be achieved.

numpy.array
with (n_individuals, n_var) which contains the variable space values for each individual.- variant{DE/(rand|best)/1/(bin/exp)}
The different variants of DE to be used. DE/x/y/z where x how to select individuals to be pertubed, y the number of difference vector to be used and z the crossover type. One of the most common variant is DE/rand/1/bin.
- Ffloat
The weight to be used during the crossover.
- CRfloat
The probability the individual exchanges variable values from the donor vector.
- dither{‘no’, ‘scalar’, ‘vector’}
One strategy to introduce adaptive weights (F) during one run. The option allows the same dither to be used in one iteration (‘scalar’) or a different one for each individual (‘vector).
- jitterbool
Another strategy for adaptive weights (F). Here, only a very small value is added or subtracted to the weight used for the crossover for each individual.
