how to write genetic algorithm fitness function that minimize sum of three metrics in matlab

To write a fitness function that minimizes the sum of three metrics in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define your three metrics. Let's assume they are metric1, metric2, and metric3.
  2. Create a function in MATLAB that calculates the fitness based on these metrics. The fitness function should take a chromosome as input and return a scalar value representing the fitness of the chromosome.
  3. In the fitness function, calculate the value of each metric based on the chromosome's genes.
  4. Calculate the sum of the three metrics and return it as the fitness value.

Here is a MATLAB code example demonstrating this approach:

main.m
function fitness = myFitnessFunction(chromosome)
    % Extract genes from the chromosome
    gene1 = chromosome(1);
    gene2 = chromosome(2);
    gene3 = chromosome(3);

    % Calculate the value of each metric based on the genes
    metric1 = % calculation based on gene1
    metric2 = % calculation based on gene2
    metric3 = % calculation based on gene3

    % Calculate the fitness as the sum of the three metrics
    fitness = metric1 + metric2 + metric3;
end

You can then use this fitness function in the MATLAB Genetic Algorithm toolbox or any other implementation of a genetic algorithm to minimize the sum of the three metrics.
