public interface NEATGenomeFactory
extends GenomeFactory

This interface defines additional methods defined to create NEAT genomes. It is an extension to the non-NEAT specific GenomeFactory. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/ Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal Articles.

Method Detail

factor

NEATGenome factor(java.util.List<NEATNeuronGene> neurons,
                  java.util.List<NEATLinkGene> links,
                  int inputCount,
                  int outputCount)

Create a NEAT genome from a list of links and neurons.

Parameters:

neurons - A list of neuron genes.

links - A list of link genes.

inputCount - The input count.

outputCount - The output count.

Returns:

The newly factored NEATGenome.

factor

NEATGenome factor(java.util.Random rnd,
                  NEATPopulation pop,
                  int inputCount,
                  int outputCount,
                  double connectionDensity)

Create a new random NEAT genome.

Parameters:

rnd - A random number generator.

pop - The NEAT population.

inputCount - The input count.

outputCount - The output count.

connectionDensity - The connection density. Specify 1.0 for fully connected.

Returns:

The newly created NEAT genome.
