Evolutionary MCMC Sampling and Optimization in Discrete Spaces
The links between genetic algorithms and population-based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are explored. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are well-known for their capability to opt...

Fitness-proportional negative slope coefficient as a hardness measure for genetic algorithms
The Negative Slope Coefficient (nsc) is an empirical measure of problem hardness based on the analysis of offspring-fitness vs. parent-fitness scatterplots. The nsc has been teste...

An Individually Variable Mutation-Rate Strategy for Genetic Algorithms
Abstract. In Neo-Darwinism, mutation can be considered to be unaffected by selection pressure. This is the metaphor generally used by the genetic algorithm for its treatment of the...
