Genotypic and Phenotypic Assortative Mating in Genetic Algorithm
Three new methods of selection of mating pairs for Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are introduced where the partners are chosen based on either their genotypic similarity (called genotypic assortative mating) or their phenotypic similarity (called phenotypic assortative mating). These methods not only help in exploiting the current search space properly before exploring the new one but also enable one...
متن کاملAssortative Mating on Education: A Genetic Assessment∗
We combine an instrumental variables approach –exploiting genetic variation in polygenic scores and controlling for population stratification– with a stochastic linear bi-dimensional matching model –which allows us to test the validity of the exclusion restriction. Individuals match on an additive index of overall marital attractiveness which has two components: an observable component (educati...
متن کاملAssortative mating without assortative preference.
Assortative mating--marriage of a man and a woman with similar social characteristics--is a commonly observed phenomenon. In the existing literature in both sociology and economics, this phenomenon has mainly been attributed to individuals' conscious preferences for assortative mating. In this paper, we show that patterns of assortative mating may arise from another structural source even if in...
متن کاملAssortative mating in animals.
Assortative mating occurs when there is a correlation (positive or negative) between male and female phenotypes or genotypes across mated pairs. To determine the typical strength and direction of assortative mating in animals, we carried out a meta-analysis of published measures of assortative mating for a variety of phenotypic and genotypic traits in a diverse set of animal taxa. We focused on...
متن کاملGenetic and educational assortative mating among US adults.
Understanding the social and biological mechanisms that lead to homogamy (similar individuals marrying one another) has been a long-standing issue across many fields of scientific inquiry. Using a nationally representative sample of non-Hispanic white US adults from the Health and Retirement Study and information from 1.7 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms, we compare genetic similarity am...
