The <populationSize> element is used to specify the initial size of a particular population. It takes the following form:

<populationSize spec='PopulationSize' size='DOUBLE'>
   <!-- <population> element specifying a particular population -->
</populationSize>

The population whose size is to be set is specified using a population element. The chosen size is specified using the size attribute. Note that population sizes are specified using floating point numbers to allow the specification of extremely large values. Fractional values do not make sense.
