Hi again.
I've used gp.koza.xover.likelihood to set the probability of performing the
crossover operator and I've seen differences in my results, what it sounds
good.
After checking the koza.params file, I see that like for xover, there is a
gp.koza.mutate param. I've tried with gp.koza.mutate.likelihood and when
printing unaccessed params, the gp.koza.mutate.likelihood appears in that
list.

Please, how do I set a probability for performing the mutation operator, I
mean, with probability 0.x I want the mutation operation to be performed?

Thank you very much.
My best regards.
