## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): INTEGER

## Description

- The `random` setting creates a new population using (a) `replacement_size` randomly selected individuals from the current population, and (b) `population_size` - `replacement_size` individuals randomly selected from among the newly generated individuals (the number of which is optionally specified using `new_solutions_generated`) that are created for each generation (using the selection, crossover, and mutation procedures).
