Length Optimization

This module takes a list of equal length lists and converts it into XML. If the first sublist is a list of headings, these are used to form the element names of the rest of the data, or these can be defined in the function call. Root and "row" elements can be named if required. If you want to use... Platforms: Windows, Mac, *nix, Python, BSD Solaris

Padding variable length sequences script returns a pad function that implements tuple unpacking. Platforms: Windows, Mac, *nix, Python, BSD Solaris

NSGA-II is a very famous multi-objective optimization algorithm. I submitted an example previously and wanted to make this submission useful to others by creating it as a function. Even though this function is very specific to benchmark problems, with a little bit more modification this can be... Platforms: Matlab

It is a hill climbing optimization algorithm for finding the minimum of a fitness function in the real space. The space should be constrained and defined properly. It attempts steps on every dimension and proceeds searching to the dimension and the direction that gives the lowest value of the... Platforms: Matlab
