Can anyone provide some pseudo code for a roulette selection function? How would I implement this:
Here's a compact java implementation I wrote recently for roulette selection, hopefully of use.
public static gene rouletteSelection()
{
float totalScore = 0;
float runningScore = 0;
for (gene g : genes)
{
totalScore += g.score;
}
float rnd = (float) (Math.random() * totalScore);
for (gene g : genes)
{
if ( rnd>=runningScore &&
rnd<=runningScore+g.score)
{
return g;
}
runningScore+=g.score;
}
return null;
}
