# Here are the functions to implement the genetic algorithm generically

# a single cut in the list of features. The default is not to
# shuffle the feature order, and simply make a single cut.

# vector is supplied as input, and we convert from a uniform distribution
# to select a pair of individuals from the population.

# The "culling" routine. The use of "solve" in the computation of the
# mahalanobis distance means that the covariance matrix for the selected
# features has to be nonsingular. Although we should probably test that
# directly, we have so far only run into problems when we manage to select
# the same feature twice in the same set. We work around this by "mutating"
# any individuals that suffer from this 'fatal' gene combination.

# This routine serves two roles. First, it is a constructor function for
# GenAlg objects. You have to supply a data matrix, where we think of each
# row as an individual in the population, and the columns mean whatever you
# want them to mean. In our application, the entries are the indexes into the
# list of features. You also have to supply
#	fitfun = a fuction that will be applied to each row in order to compute
#		the fitness of that individual
#	mutfun = a function that will be applied to each individual produced
#		by mating to cause random mutations in the inherited alleles
#       context = a list containing auxiilary data to be passed throught
#               to the the mutation and fitness functions
#	pm = the per-allele probability of a mutation
#       pc = the per-mating probability of a crossover event
#	gen = an integer represnting which generation this is in the running of
#		the algorithm.
#
# When the GenAlg is initialized, we compute the fitness of all the
# individuals in the population. Thus, the GenAlg function also serves as a
# critical routine when you iterate the generate algorithm to process several
# generations.

# Now we add additional functions for a specific genetic algorithm
# that we are often interested in. Note that the fitness and mutation
# functions assume that they have access to the following variables inside
# the 'context' list:
#	dataset = the matrix of feature values for individual samples. The
#		entries in the genetic algorithm data matrix (ie, the alleles)
#		are indices into the rows of the dataset matrix.
#	gps = a logical vector classifying the columns of the dataset into
#		two distinct groups, such as cancer or normal.
#
# In order to create an instance of the class of genetic algorithms that
# uses the fitness and mutation functions defined in this section, you must
# create the "dataset" and "gps" objects, and must then also initialize
# a starting population for the gentic algorithm.


# This function uses Mahalanobis distance to compute the fitness of
# an individual.
