EpigeneticCount |
The epigenetic generation count. If set to a non-zero value, will cause
the genetic algorithm to not express this gene. Epigenetics allows for
changes in gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in
the underlying DNA sequence, temporarily or through multiple generations.
For example if this gene codes for risk aversion and if the evaluation
function evaluates the entire Genome to having been too risky, then the
gene may be temporarily silenced within the evaluation function. This is
done by setting EpigeneticCount to a positive value representing
the number of generations to silence the gene before it is reactivated.
The purpose of this feature is to provide momentum to overcome local optima.
