Generating a random sampling of program trees with specified function and terminal sets is the initial step of many program evolution systems. I present a theoretical and experim...
This paper analyses the reliability of confidence intervals for Koza's computational effort statistic. First, we conclude that dependence between the observed minimum generat...
Background: The estimation of demographic parameters from genetic data often requires the computation of likelihoods. However, the likelihood function is computationally intractab...

A new family of "Distribution Replacement” operators for use in steady state genetic algorithms is presented. Distribution replacement enforces the members of the populatio...
Symbolic regression is a popular genetic programming (GP) application. Typically, the fitness function for this task is based on a sum-of-errors, involving the values of the depe...
