Functionality

  • Tested the new crossovers and creators - worked fine and yielded nice results.
  • I think we could merge both ClusterCreators into a single one where a parameter specifies on which attribute the clustering is based. This would also simplify the code since both cluster implementations are very similar.
  • I also suggest renaming the clusters into something like "Coordinate-based" and "Time-based".
  • The TourCreationProbabilities (greedy vs shuffled) are a bit unintuitive to use. Maybe we can come up with something else how to specify this.

Code

  • I suggest to make the KMeansAlgorithm into a static class only offering a single Run method.
  • Concept of shuffle vs greedy should be generalized so that additional options could be easily implemented.
  • Abstract classes (ClusterCreator) should have protected constructors
  • Remove unused methods and usings.
  • Check required parameters and throw exceptions at the beginning of a method to avoid unnecessary calculations.
  • Avoid causing NullReferenceExceptions after casting. Use (TargetType) instead of as TargetType.
