Thomas Neidhart commented on MATH-1074:
---------------------------------------
It depends.
The Chromosome class could be similar to a CharSequence, which provides methods
like length() and substring() to get parts of the sequence. The actual
underlying data would be completely abstracted, thus avoiding to create a
List<Double> which is quite inefficient, especially for large populations.
I have not made up my mind, I was just working on some examples last weekend
(will add another one hopefully tonight), and found the current API very
cumbersome to use. Will need to experiment with more use-cases to see what is
really useful.
> Refactor fixed size chromosomes

> Key: MATH-1074
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1074
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Thomas Neidhart
>
> Currently, only chromosomes derived from AbstractListChromosome can be used
> for most of the crossover policies. This is quite inconvenient to use,
> especially when working with primitive types.
> Need to think about ways to refactor this for better support of other
> datatypes, e.g. CharSequence or primitive arrays.
