NAME

       PGAFitness  -  Maps  the  user’s evaluation function value to a fitness
       value.

DESCRIPTION

       First, the user’s  evaluation  function  value  is  translated  to  all
       positive  values  if any are negative.  Next, this positive sequence is
       translated  to  a  maximization  problem  if  the  user’s  optimization
       direction was minimization.  This positive sequence is then mapped to a
       fitness value using linear ranking, linear  normalization  fitness,  or
       the  identity  (i.e.,  the evaluation function value).  This routine is
       usually used after PGAEvaluate is called.

INPUT PARAMETERS

       ctx    - context variable
       pop    - symbolic constant of the population to calculate fitness for

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       none

SYNOPSIS

       #include "pgapack.h"
       void  PGAFitness(ctx, popindex)
       PGAContext *ctx
       int popindex

LOCATION

       fitness.c

EXAMPLE

       Example:
       Calculate the fitness of all strings in population PGA_NEWPOP after
       calling PGAEvaluate to calculate the strings evaluation value.

       double energy(PGAContext *ctx, int p, int pop);
       PGAContext *ctx;
       :
       PGAEvaluate(ctx, PGA_NEWPOP, energy);
       PGAFitness (ctx, PGA_NEWPOP);
