mutBitflip function

Bitplip mutator.

This operator works only on binary representation and flips each bit with a given probability $p \in (0, 1)$. Usually it is recommended to set $p = \frac{1}{n}$ where $n$ is the number of bits in the representation.

mutBitflip(ind, p = 0.1)

Arguments

• ind: [binary]

  Binary vector, i.e., vector with elements 0 and 1 only.

• p: [numeric(1)]

  Probability to flip a single bit. Default is 0.1.

Returns

[binary]
