Evolutionary tradeoffs, Pareto optimality and the morphology of ammonite shells

Pareto-optimality of Compromise Decisions Pareto-optimality of Compromise Decisions

This paper deals with the problem of existence of compromise decisions and conditions for a compromise decision to be weakly Pareto-optimal, i.e., to be a weak Pareto-maximizer, Pareto-maximizer, or strong Pareto-maximizer. The concept of compromise decision is generalized by adopting triangular norms. Further, a concept of fuzzy interval is introduced. Suucient conditions for the existence of ...

Pareto-optimality of oblique decision trees from evolutionary algorithms

This paper investigates the performance of evolutionary algorithms in the optimization aspects of oblique decision tree construction and describes their performance with respect to classification accuracy, tree size, and Pareto-optimality of their solution sets. The performance of the evolutionary algorithms is analyzed and compared to the performance of exhaustive (traditional) decision tree c...

Skyline Queries and Pareto Optimality

Reasoned Assumptions and Pareto Optimality

Default and non-monotonic inference rule* are not really epistemological statements, but are instead desires or preferences of the agent about the makeup of Its own mental state (cpistemic or otherwise). The fundamental relation in non-monotonic logic is not so mum self-knowledge as self-choice or self-determination, and the fundamental justification of the interpretations and structures involv...

Comment on "Evolutionary trade-offs, Pareto optimality, and the geometry of phenotype space".

Shoval et al. (Reports, 1 June 2012, p. 1157) showed how configurations of phenotypes may identify tasks that trade off with each other, using randomizations assuming independence of data points. I argue that this assumption may not be correct for most and possibly all examples and led to pseudoreplication and inflated significance levels. Improved statistical testing is necessary to assess how...
