The GO parameter class is used to change main GO optimization settings. You may:
 | 
						|
<ul>
 | 
						|
  <li>Choose the optimizer. Check the optimizer object for further parameters and information.</li>
 | 
						|
  <li>Set post-processing parameters or leave it turned off.</li>
 | 
						|
  <li>Select the problem to be optimized. Check the problem instance for further parameters and information. </li>
 | 
						|
  <li>Set a random seed. For the same positive seed, an optimization run should yield the same results. Set the seed to zero to use a dynamic seed for each run (using system time).</li>
 | 
						|
  <li>Define the termination criterion. Usually a maximum number of fitness evaluations is set, but 
 | 
						|
  	it is also possible to choose a maximum number of generations, an absolute fitness value to be reached, a
 | 
						|
  	convergence criterion or a combination of those.</li>  
 | 
						|
</ul>
 | 
						|
<b>Note:</b> <br>
 | 
						|
The evolutionary operators used by a strategy are tightly connected to the representation used.
 | 
						|
On the other hand, the representation is usually defined by the underlying problem, therefore,
 | 
						|
to change the operators effecting the individuals, select the problem and set them within the
 | 
						|
Individual class presented there. Also note, that not all optimizers can handle all types
 | 
						|
of representations.
