Re: [cilib-devel] Proportional Vmax

[Gary P. <gpa...@gm...>]

Hi,

Well, yes... I can't remember the orginal intent of the 
ProportionalControlParameter, but it effectively maintains a proportion.

For example. Within the TournamentSelection class, the proportion is set to 
0.1. The parameter is then used as follows:

	proportion.getParamter() * population.size()

to obtain what 10% of the population would be.

I think that this control parameter might be a little too stupid? We might 
actually want to rethink the class's intent.

Thoughts?
