<div class="gmail_quote"><div>Hello,</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;m working in a hyper-heuristic GA to evolve machine learning algorithms.</div><div>I was using a traditional breeding pipeline (tournament selection --&gt; crossover --&gt; mutation), but I decided to change it so it would look something like this: (tournament selection --&gt; reproduction/crossover/mutation), in which there is 5% of chance of reproducing (cloning) the selected individuals, 5% of chance of mutating the individuals and 90% of chance of them suffering crossover. In other words, the probabilities should sum to 1 considering that the selected individuals will undergo one of the three operations at a time.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I edited my parameter file to look like this:</div><div><br></div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe = ec.breed.MultiBreedingPipeline</div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.num-sources = 3</div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.0 = ec.breed.ReproductionPipeline</div>

<div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.0.prob = 0.05</div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.1 = ec.vector.breed.VectorCrossoverPipeline</div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.1.prob = 0.90</div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.2 = ec.vector.breed.VectorMutationPipeline</div>

<div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.2.prob = 0.05</div><div><br></div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.0.source.0 = ec.select.TournamentSelection</div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.1.source.0 = ec.select.TournamentSelection</div>

<div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.1.source.1 = same</div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.2.source.0 = ec.select.TournamentSelection</div><div><br></div><div>pop.subpop.0.species.crossover-type<span style="white-space:pre-wrap">	</span>= one</div>

<br></div><div><br></div><div>Is this correct? Or am I missing something important? Apparently it works, but I&#39;m not sure it is working as it should.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your help. </div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
