An algorithm independent metric is introduced that measures the dispersion of a uniform random sample drawn from the top ranked percentiles of the search space. A low dispersion f...
A novel approach to classification is proposed in which a Paretobased ranking of individuals is used to encourage multiple individuals to participate in the solution. To do so, th...
The effects of neutrality on evolutionary search have been considered in a number of interesting studies, the results of which, however, have been contradictory. Some researchers ...
In an evolutionary algorithm, the population has a very important role as its size has direct implications regarding solution quality, speed, and reliability. Theoretical studies ...
The toxicity of an anticancer drug is cleared from the body by different processes, including saturable metabolic and nonsaturable renal-excretion pathways. According to the princ...
In this paper, we introduce a new genetic representation -- a splicing/decomposable (S/D) binary encoding, which was proposed based on some theoretical guidance and existing recom...
