Customizing Mutation in Your Framework
Learn how to modify our mutation function to incorporate it into our framework.
Incorporating mutation into the framework
Just like in the chapter Selecting the Best, and the chapter Generating New Solutions, we’ll need to slightly modify our framework to allow us to customize mutation hyperparameters. These hyperparameters are mutation strategy and mutation rate.
In this lesson, we’ll create a mutation toolbox and modify our framework in order to easily customize mutation in our algorithms.
Creating the toolbox
First, create a mutation toolbox, jjust like the one in which we created a selection and crossover toolbox. Over here, we create a new file in toolbox
called mutation.ex
.
Next, we create the Toolbox.Mutation
module, like this:
