public static RankedCandidates process(GenerationRanker generationRanker,
                                       GenerationEvolver generationEvolver,
                                       Predicate<RankedCandidates> terminator,
                                       Collection<Node> initialPopulation)

Performs a Genetic Programming run.

Parameters:

generationRanker - ranks a generation by their fitness

generationEvolver - creates a new generation based on the previous generation

terminator - a function that determines if the run should finish

initialPopulation - the initial population that will be used as a basis for generating future generations

Returns:

the final generation produced as part of this run - the best candidate of this generation can be retrieved using RankedCandidates.best()
