We discuss tournaments in terms of their efficiency as probabilistic mechanisms that select high-quality alternatives ("players") in a noisy environment. We use two crit...
Standard tournament selection samples individuals with replacement. The sampling-with-replacement strategy has its advantages but also has issues. One of the commonly recognised i...

Tournament selection is a popular form of selection which is commonly used with genetic algorithms, genetic programming and evolutionary programming. However, tournament selection...
Tournament selection has been widely used and studied in evolutionary algorithms. To supplement the study of tournament selection, this paper provides several models describing th...
This paper considers a number of selection schemes commonly used in modern genetic algorithms. Specifically, proportionate reproduction, ranking selection, tournament selection, a...
