Description copied from interface: Selector

Selects a specified number of individuals from the given population based on their fitness values.

This method implements the core selection logic, choosing individuals according to the specific selection strategy. The selection process typically involves evaluating fitness values and applying probabilistic or deterministic rules to choose parents for reproduction.

The selection process should:

• Consider fitness values when making selection decisions
• Return exactly the requested number of individuals
• Allow for the possibility of selecting the same individual multiple times
• Maintain the integrity of the original population

Specified by:

select in interface Selector<T extends Comparable<T>>

Parameters:

eaConfiguration - the evolutionary algorithm configuration containing selection parameters

numIndividuals - the number of individuals to select from the population

population - the list of genotypes in the current population

fitnessScore - the list of fitness values corresponding to each genotype

Returns:

a new population containing the selected individuals
