## Class CMAESOptimizer.PopulationSize

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.math3.optimization.direct.CMAESOptimizer.PopulationSize

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    OptimizationData
  Enclosing class:
    CMAESOptimizer

      public static class CMAESOptimizer.PopulationSize
      extends Object
      implements OptimizationData

  Population size. The number of offspring is the primary strategy parameter. In the absence of better clues, a good default could be an integer close to `4 + 3 ln(n)`, where `n` is the number of optimized parameters. Increasing the population size improves global search properties at the expense of speed (which in general decreases at most linearly with increasing population size).

    3.1
