I want to specify the probability of performing mutation and the same for crossover. How do I specify it for each operator?
I've seen the following parameters and I don`t know which one to use:

<base>.likelihood
pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.0.prob
gp.koza.xover.prob
pop.subpop.0.species.mutation-prob
pop.subpop.0.species.crossover-prob

Additionally, I'd like to know the type of mutation and crossover applied in the run. How do I know them?

Thanks a lot.

If you want to specify the probability whether a given operator performs mutation (say) or just copies parents and returns them, the parameter you're looking for is 'likelihood'.

If you want to specify the probability of doing mutation type 1 versus mutation type 2 versus crossover or whatever, the tool you want is called ec.breed.MultiBreedingPipeline.
