Specifies the strategy to deal with bloat in the genetic program trees.
Bloat, or uncontrolled growth of genetic programs, is a common problem in genetic programming. After a certain number of generations, genetic program trees tend to start gaining in size and depth rapidly, slowing execution and often leading to no convergence on a solution.
The BloatStrategy property specifies the anti-bloating strategy to attempt to control excessive tree growth. Unfortunately, the bloat strategies are often problem dependent so you may have to tinker with bloat strategies to see which works for your problem.
The BloatLimit property is used with the BloatStrategy to specify when limits are exceeded. The ParsimonyCoefficient property is used with parsimony-type anti-bloat strategies. The TarpeianProbability property is used with the Tarpeian anti-bloat strategies.
