Detailed Description

A binary gene with values 0 and 1.

Definition at line 130 of file genes.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BinaryGene (    )  [inline]

Default constructor, FORBIDDEN! Exists only because of RTTI system. Definition at line 136 of file genes.h. Referenced by replicate().

BinaryGene (  const GeneticID &    id, double    mut = 1.0, double    initP = 0.5 )

The standard constructor. Parameters: id  Name of the gene. mut  Local mutation rate coefficient. initP  Probability of value 1 in initialization. By default the probability of 0 and 1 are uniform (0.5). You can, of course, use this to set the initial value: use 0.0 for value 0, and 1.0 for value 1. Definition at line 86 of file genes.cc. References init().

Member Function Documentation

void copy (  const Genstruct &    other )  [virtual]

Implementation for Genstruct. Reimplemented from Gene. Definition at line 120 of file genes.cc. References Gene::copy().

virtual double equality (  const Genstruct &    other )  const [inline, virtual]

Implementation for Genstruct. The distance is calculated as trivial case of Hamming distance. Reimplemented from Genstruct. Definition at line 184 of file genes.h.

bool getvalue (    )  const [inline]

Returns the value of the gene as either true (1) or false (0). Definition at line 159 of file genes.h.

void init (    )  [virtual]

Implementation for Genstruct. Reimplemented from Genstruct. Definition at line 93 of file genes.cc. Referenced by BinaryGene().

DataOStream & operator>> (  DataOStream &    out )  const [virtual]

Implementation for Object. Reimplemented from Genstruct. Definition at line 129 of file genes.cc. References Genstruct::id, and Gene::mutability.

bool pointMutate (  const MutationRate &    k )  [virtual]

Implementation for Genstruct. Flips the current value over with propability k*c, where c is the gene-local probability coefficient, and k is described below. Parameters: k  Mutation rate parameters. Only the binaryrate parameter is usefor for us. Reimplemented from Genstruct. Definition at line 97 of file genes.cc. References MutationRate::autoAdaptation(), MutationRate::binaryRate(), and Gene::mutability.

void print (  TextOStream &    out )  const [virtual]

Implementation for Genstruct. Reimplemented from Genstruct. Definition at line 125 of file genes.cc.

virtual Genstruct* replicate (    )  const [inline, virtual]

Implementation for Genstruct. Reimplemented from Genstruct. Definition at line 190 of file genes.h. References BinaryGene().

BinaryGene& set (  bool    value )  [inline]

Sets the value of the gene. Definition at line 156 of file genes.h.

void setInitP (  double    initP )  [inline]

Sets the probability of value 1 in initialization. The default initialization probability (see the constructor) is 0.5. Definition at line 164 of file genes.h.
