this function takes two individuals and produces offspring by mixing (recombining) their coefficients

void TMVA::GeneticPopulation::Mutate	(	Double_t	probability = `20`,
		Int_t	startIndex = `0`,
		Bool_t	near = `kFALSE`,
		Double_t	spread = `0.1`,
		Bool_t	mirror = `kFALSE`
	)

mutates the individuals in the genePool Parameters: double probability : gives the probability (in percent) of a mutation of a coefficient int startIndex : leaves unchanged (without mutation) the individuals which are better ranked than indicated by "startIndex".

This means: if "startIndex==3", the first (and best) three individuals are not mutaded. This allows to preserve the best result of the current Generation for the next generation. Bool_t near : if true, the mutation will produce a new coefficient which is "near" the old one (gaussian around the current value) double spread : if near==true, spread gives the sigma of the gaussian Bool_t mirror : if the new value obtained would be outside of the given constraints the value is mapped between the constraints again. This can be done either by a kind of periodic boundary conditions or mirrored at the boundary. (mirror = true seems more "natural")
