Complete Algorithms
-------------------
These are complete boxed algorithms that are somewhat limited to the very
basic evolutionary computation concepts. All algorithms accept, in addition to
their arguments, an initialized :class:`~deap.tools.Statistics` object to
maintain stats of the evolution, an initialized
:class:`~deap.tools.HallOfFame` to hold the best individual(s) to appear in
the population, and a boolean `verbose` to specify whether to
log what is happening during the evolution or not.

.. autofunction:: deap.algorithms.eaSimple(population, toolbox, cxpb, mutpb, ngen[, stats, halloffame, verbose])

.. autofunction:: deap.algorithms.eaMuPlusLambda(population, toolbox, mu, lambda_, cxpb, mutpb, ngen[, stats, halloffame, verbose])

.. autofunction:: deap.algorithms.eaMuCommaLambda(population, toolbox, mu, lambda_, cxpb, mutpb, ngen[, stats, halloffame, verbose])

.. autofunction:: deap.algorithms.eaGenerateUpdate(toolbox, ngen[, stats, halloffame, verbose])

Variations
----------
Variations are smaller parts of the algorithms that can be used separately to
build more complex algorithms.
