Description: This collection of gene representation-independent
        mechanisms for evolutionary and genetic algorithms for the
        R-package 'xega' <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=xega>
        contains four groups of functions: First, functions for
        selecting a gene in a population of genes according to its
        fitness value and for adaptive scaling of the fitness values as
        well as for performance optimization and measurement offer
        several variants for implementing the survival of the fittest.
        Second, evaluation functions for deterministic functions avoid
        recomputation. Evaluation of stochastic functions incrementally
        improve the estimation of the mean and variance of fitness
        values at almost no additional cost. Evaluation functions for
        gene repair handle error-correcting decoders. Third, timing and
        counting functions for profiling the algorithm pipeline are
        provided to assess bottlenecks in the algorithms. Fourth, a
        small collection of problem environments for function
        optimization, combinatorial optimization, and grammar-based
        genetic programming and grammatical evolution is provided for
        tutorial examples. For 'xega''s architecture, see Geyer-Schulz,
