The Role of Population Size in Rate of Evolution in Genetic Programming
Abstract. Population size is a critical parameter that affects the performance of an Evolutionary Computation model. A variable population size scheme is considered potentially be...

A Study of the Role of Single Node Mutation in Genetic Programming
In this paper we examine the effects of single node mutations on trees evolved via genetic programming. The results show that neutral mutations are less likely for nodes nearer th...

Expected Allele Coverage and the Role of Mutation in Genetic Algorithms
It is part of the traditional lore of genetic algorithms that low mutation rates lead to efficient search of the solution space, while high mutation rates result in diffusion of s...

Exploiting the path of least resistance in evolution
Hereditary Repulsion (HR) is a selection method coupled with a fitness constraint that substantially improves the performance and consistency of evolutionary algorithms. This als...

Fregene: Simulation of realistic sequence-level data in populations and ascertained samples
Background: FREGENE simulates sequence-level data over large genomic regions in large populations. Because, unlike coalescent simulators, it works forwards through time, it allows...
