See: Description

- Interface Summary
  Interface | Description
  --- | ---
  CrossoverPolicy | Policy used to create a pair of new chromosomes by performing a crossover operation on a source pair of chromosomes.
  Fitness | Fitness of a chromosome.
  MutationPolicy | Algorithm used to mutate a chromosome.
  PermutationChromosome<T> | Interface indicating that the chromosome represents a permutation of objects.
  Population | A collection of chromosomes that facilitates generational evolution.
  SelectionPolicy | Algorithm used to select a chromosome pair from a population.
  StoppingCondition | Algorithm used to determine when to stop evolution.

- Class Summary
  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  AbstractListChromosome<T> | Chromosome represented by an immutable list of a fixed length.
  BinaryChromosome | Chromosome represented by a vector of 0s and 1s.
  BinaryMutation | Mutation for `BinaryChromosome`s.
  Chromosome | Individual in a population.
  ChromosomePair | A pair of `Chromosome` objects.
  CycleCrossover<T> | Cycle Crossover [CX] builds offspring from ordered chromosomes by identifying cycles between two parent chromosomes.
  ElitisticListPopulation | Population of chromosomes which uses elitism (certain percentage of the best chromosomes is directly copied to the next generation).
  FixedElapsedTime | Stops after a fixed amount of time has elapsed.
  FixedGenerationCount | Stops after a fixed number of generations.
  GeneticAlgorithm | Implementation of a genetic algorithm.
  ListPopulation | Population of chromosomes represented by a `List`.
  NPointCrossover<T> | N-point crossover policy.
  OnePointCrossover<T> | One point crossover policy.
  OrderedCrossover<T> | Order 1 Crossover [OX1] builds offspring from ordered chromosomes by copying a consecutive slice from one parent, and filling up the remaining genes from the other parent as they appear.
  RandomKey<T> | Random Key chromosome is used for permutation representation.
  RandomKeyMutation | Mutation operator for `RandomKey`s.
  TournamentSelection | Tournament selection scheme.
  UniformCrossover<T> | Perform Uniform Crossover [UX] on the specified chromosomes.

- Exception Summary
  Exception | Description
  --- | ---
  InvalidRepresentationException | Exception indicating that the representation of a chromosome is not valid.
