Function PGARealGeneDistance

Function Documentation

double PGARealGeneDistance(PGAContext *ctx, int p1, int pop1, int p2, int pop2)

Compute genetic difference of two strings.

Description

Sum of the absolute values of the differences of each allele. So this is a Manhattan distance (mainly for performance reasons). Internal function. Use PGAUserFunctionGeneDistance().

Parameters
  • ctx – context variable

  • p1 – first string index

  • pop1 – symbolic constant of the population the first string is in

  • p2 – second string index

  • pop2 – symbolic constant of the population the second string is in

Returns

genetic distance of the two strings
