All Implemented Interfaces:

```
public class MajorityGP
extends GPProblem
implements SimpleProblemForm
```
MajorityGP.java Implements a GP-style vector rule for the one-dimensional Majority-Ones cellular automaton problem. This code is in the spirit of Das, Crutchfield, Mitchel, and Hanson, "Evolving Globally Synchronized Cellular AUtomata", http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mm/EGSCA.pdf The primary difference is in the trials mechanism, in which we're using 25/25/50 rather than 50/50/0.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`static boolean`	`all(int[] vals, int val)`
`void`	`describe(EvolutionState state, Individual ind, int subpopulation, int threadnum, int log)` Part of SimpleProblemForm.
`void`	`evaluate(EvolutionState state, Individual ind, int subpopulation, int threadnum)` Evaluates the individual in ind, if necessary (perhaps not evaluating them if their evaluated flags are true), and sets their fitness appropriately.
`void`	`finishEvaluating(EvolutionState state, int threadnum)` Will be called by the Evaluator after prepareToEvaluate(...) is called and then a series of individuals are evaluated.
`void`	`generateTrials(EvolutionState state, int thread)`
`(package private) boolean`	`makeTrial(EvolutionState state, int thread, int[] trial, int trialType)`
`void`	`prepareToEvaluate(EvolutionState state, int threadnum)` May be called by the Evaluator prior to a series of individuals to evaluate, and then ended with a finishEvaluating(...).
`void`	`setup(EvolutionState state, Parameter base)` Sets up the object by reading it from the parameters stored in state, built off of the parameter base base.

    Description copied from interface: Prototype
    
    Sets up the object by reading it from the parameters stored in state, built off of the parameter base base. If an ancestor implements this method, be sure to call super.setup(state,base); before you do anything else.
    For prototypes, setup(...) is typically called once for the prototype instance; cloned instances do not receive the setup(...) call. setup(...) may be called more than once; the only guarantee is that it will get called at least once on an instance or some "parent" object from which it was ultimately cloned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setup in interface Prototype

  - prepareToEvaluate
```
public void prepareToEvaluate(EvolutionState state,
                     int threadnum)
```
    Description copied from class: Problem
    
    May be called by the Evaluator prior to a series of individuals to evaluate, and then ended with a finishEvaluating(...). If this is the case then the Problem is free to delay modifying the individuals or their fitnesses until at finishEvaluating(...). If no prepareToEvaluate(...) is called prior to evaluation, the Problem must complete its modification of the individuals and their fitnesses as they are evaluated as stipulated in the relevant evaluate(...) documentation for SimpleProblemForm or GroupedProblemForm. The default method does nothing. Note that prepareToEvaluate() can be called *multiple times* prior to finishEvaluating() being called -- in this case, the subsequent calls may be ignored.
    
    Overrides:
    
    prepareToEvaluate in class Problem
  - finishEvaluating
```
public void finishEvaluating(EvolutionState state,
                    int threadnum)
```
    Description copied from class: Problem
    
    Will be called by the Evaluator after prepareToEvaluate(...) is called and then a series of individuals are evaluated. However individuals may be evaluated without prepareToEvaluate or finishEvaluating being called at all. See the documentation for prepareToEvaluate for more information. The default method does nothing.

```
    Description copied from interface: SimpleProblemForm
    
    Evaluates the individual in ind, if necessary (perhaps not evaluating them if their evaluated flags are true), and sets their fitness appropriately.

            int log)
```
    Description copied from class: Problem
    
    Part of SimpleProblemForm. Included here so you don't have to write the default version, which usually does nothing.
