- (Object) direction

The sorting direction. Expected values are: :maximize, :minimize.

  @direction
end

- (Object) max

The :proportion value of the best individual. Default is 1.1

def max
  @max
end

- (Object) min

The :proportion value of the worst individual. Default is 0.9

def min
  @min
end

- (Object) order_by

The symbol used as the sorting key. The value for ordering is retireved by calling: 


  individual.send(order_by)

# File '../lib/ranking.rb', line 37

def order_by
  @order_by
end

Instance Method Details

- (Object) rank(population)

If the block was given to the constructor, calls 


  { |original, rank, proportion| ... }

for each population and returns the population container.

Otherwise it returns the array of the RankedFields structures, one for each population member.
