# 'Pool_Size' is essential for the genetic algorithm performance.
# It gives us the number of individuals within one population.
#
# 'Effort' 'low' means integer value of 1, 'medium' 40, and 'high' 80.
# Note: Effort is *only* used to derive a default value for Generations
# --- if you specify Generations then Effort does not matter.
#
# 'Generations' specifies the number of iterations in the genetic algorithm.
#
# GEQO runtime is roughly proportional to Pool_Size + Generations.
#
# 'Selection_Bias' gives us the selective pressure within the
# population.
#
# 'Random_Seed' is the random seed for the random() function.
# You don't have to set it.  If you do set it, then successive GEQO
# runs will produce repeatable results, whereas if you don't set it
# there will be some randomness in the results...

# All parameters will be computed within the GEQO module when they
# are not set in the pg_geqo file.


# Example pg_geqo settings:
#
#Pool_Size            128
#Effort               low
#Generations          200
#Random_Seed          830518260
#Selection_Bias       1.750000
