mutation.Rd

The function randomly mutates an individual's genetic code

Usage

mutation(a, p, seed = NULL)

Arguments

a

The binary matrix of all individuals

p

The mutation rate

seed

Set a seed for comparability. Default is NULL

Value

Returns a binary matrix with mutated genes.

Examples

## Create 4 random individuals with binary values
a <- cbind(
  bin0 = sample(c(0, 1), 20, replace = TRUE, prob = c(70, 30)),
  bin1 = sample(c(0, 1), 20, replace = TRUE, prob = c(30, 70)),
  bin2 = sample(c(0, 1), 20, replace = TRUE, prob = c(30, 70)),
  bin3 = sample(c(0, 1), 20, replace = TRUE, prob = c(30, 70))
)
