The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Math::ES DSLIP: bdpOp description: Evolution Strategy: genetic optimizer userid: AHCHORN (Anselm H. C. Horn) chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities) communities:
similar: Math::Simplex rationale: Function optimizing is one of the basic computer usages. Unfortunately, there is only one single module available on CPAN for that task, the Math::Simplex. The Math::ES module provides another tool for non-linear ("genetic") optimization procedures, as e.g. in parameterization. Almost everybody knows GAs, genetic algorithms, but Evolution Strategies (ES) are rather unknown, although they have been developped simulataneously. So this modules follows two intentions: provide users with another optimizer tool and make the idea of ES more public. The module is in oo-style; it allows multiple populations with migration and mixing, elitism, cross over, mutation, two selection schemes and self adapting step widths. So much for the uniqueness ... enteredby: AHCHORN (Anselm H. C.
