[joss-reviews#2974] Many component combinations not possible? about framework HOT 3 CLOSED

All components are not compatible with each algorithm because they have some requirements.
For example :

• moead_framework.core.sps_strategy.sps_dra.SpsDra needs the attribute pi
• SpsRandomAndBoundaries needs the attribute number_of_subproblem
• The multi-point Crossover needs 2 solutions as parents so we have to use a mating selector that give us 2 parents
• ...

I added more information in the documentation and I improved errors to say how the component ... is not compatible with the current algorithm. PR #66

from framework.

Thanks for elaborating that not all components are expected to work together. Here are my suggestions to address this issue:

• Fix numerical and combinatorial Moead
  Lines 68 in combinatorial and 65 in numerical Moead still need to initialize the selector with parent_selector(algorithm=self)

  The if-else block may even be simplified to the example below for the combinatorial, and equivalently for the numerical case:

if parent_selector is None:
    parent_selector = TwoRandomParentSelector
self.parent_selector = parent_selector(algorithm=self)

• Documentation:
  In the global documentation, I would add a clear generic note stating something like

  Note: Not all available components are compatible with each other.
  Refer to each component's documentation for more details on required attributes.

  at the Tutorials / Implement own algorithm and Library Reference / Other components pages

• Exceptions:
  I'll post my explicit suggestions in the PR you already opened

from framework.

Thank you for your suggestions !
The PR is updated with the commits 233c694 and de0285d
