def generate_random_antibodies(
    n_samples: int,
    n_features: int,
    feature_type: FeatureTypeAll = "continuous-features",
    bounds: Optional[npt.NDArray[np.float64]] = None
) -> npt.NDArray

Generate a random antibody population.

Parameters

• n_samples (int): Number of antibodies (samples) to generate.
• n_features (int): Number of features (dimensions) for each antibody.
• feature_type (FeatureTypeAll, default="continuous-features"): Specifies the type of features: "continuous-features", "binary-features", "ranged-features", or "permutation-features".
• bounds (Optional[npt.NDArray[np.float64]]): Array (n_features, 2) with min and max per dimension.

Returns

• npt.NDArray: Array of shape (n_samples, n_features) containing the generated antibodies.

Raises

• ValueError: If the number of features is less than or equal to zero.
