Parameter Representation

• We represent the set of parameters that define an individual as a string of bits. Each 16-bit string (one "gene") is interpreted as a signed integer and then divided by 1000.0 to yield the floating point value. To generate a new candidate from the existing population:
  • Pick a member of the population at random.
  • Go through each bit of the bit string, and mutate it with some small probability.
