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.

Sorry for the troubles, but I've re-read the manual several times and it doesn´t clarify my question.

In genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, etc, it is specified a probability of doing recombination, and another one of doing mutation. And, I want to do the same for genetic programming, an I don´t see the way to do it in ECJ.

Thank you anyway.
Regards.

I think you need to read up on parameter bases in ECJ. See the manual's section on parameters and parameter databases.
