Genetic linkage analysis is a challenging application which requires Bayesian networks consisting of thousands of vertices. Consequently, computing the likelihood of data, which i...
Background: Computing exact multipoint LOD scores for extended pedigrees rapidly becomes infeasible as the number of markers and untyped individuals increase. When markers are exc...

We discuss the use of normal distribution theory as a tool to model the convergence characteristics of di erent GA selection schemes. The models predict the proportion of optimal a...
This paper empirically investigates parallel competent genetic algorithms (cGAs) [4]. cGAs, such as BOA [21], LINCGA [15], D5 -GA [28], can solve GA-difficult problems by automati...
In the classical binary genetic algorithm, although crossover within a building block (BB) does not always cause a decrease in fitness, any decrease in fitness results from the ...
