step(population: TPopulation, **kwargs: Any) → TPopulation

Step the current evolution by one iteration.

This implementation follows the following schedule:

[Parent Selection] ———> [Reproduction]

^ | | | | ⌄

[Survivor Selection] <—– [Evaluation of Children]

The schedule can be easily adapted and reorganized for your needs.

Parameters:

  • population – The current population.

  • kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to use in the step.

Returns:

The population resulting from the step
