Method Detail

clone

java.lang.Object clone()

A proper clone of the Phenotype. As each Individual has its own Phenotype, it is very important that all specific data of the Phenotype are cloned properly (deep), otherwise the solutions returned by JEvolution will have incorrect values.

doOntogeny

void doOntogeny(java.util.List<Chromosome> genotype)

The genotype-phenotype mapper converting the genetic code to a phenotypic structure.

calcFitness

void calcFitness()

The fitness of the Phenotype is evaluated.

getFitness

double getFitness()

Gives the fitness of this Phenotype.

toString

java.lang.String toString()

A String representation of the Phenotype.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

toXml

void toXml(Element element)

Saves the phenotype to XML.
