Method Detail

applyBonus

public double applyBonus(double value,
                double bonus)

Apply a bonus, this is a simple percent that is applied in the direction specified by the "should minimize" property of the score function.

Specified by:

applyBonus in interface GenomeComparator

Parameters:

value - The current value.

bonus - The bonus.

Returns:

The resulting value.

applyPenalty

public double applyPenalty(double value,
                  double bonus)

Apply a penalty, this is a simple percent that is applied in the direction specified by the "should minimize" property of the score function.

Specified by:

applyPenalty in interface GenomeComparator

Parameters:

value - The current value.

bonus - The penalty.

Returns:

The resulting value.

isBetterThan

public boolean isBetterThan(double d1,
                   double d2)

Determine if one score is better than the other.

Specified by:

isBetterThan in interface GenomeComparator

Parameters:

d1 - The first score to compare.

d2 - The second score to compare.

Returns:

True if d1 is better than d2.
