Hello again everyone, I have a question regarding the Genetic Algorithm routines available in SAS/IML One of the features of those routines is that the initial population is randomised within an interval of possible solutions given by the user: the syntax of the initialisation routine is the following call gainit ( problem_id, pop_size, bounds, <modname>) My question is: how can I specify SAS that I want 1 individual, whose coordinate I know, to belong to the initiale population ? Namely, I would like my first generation of individuals to contain one specific individual, whose fitness value is already high. The documentation mentions the optional parameter <modname>, which is a user-written module to be called from Gainit to generate the initial population. The problem is that I have no idea how to write such a module. What is the expected output from it ? A matrix ? Thank you in advance for your help !
