Non‐genetic diversity modulates population performance
Biological functions are typically performed by groups of cells that express predominantly the same genes, yet display a continuum of phenotypes. While it is known how one genotype can generate such non-genetic diversity, it remains unclear how different phenotypes contribute to the performance of biological function at the population level. We developed a microfluidic device to simultaneously ...
متن کاملInitial Population Diversity and Performance Independence
It is widely accepted that there is a strong correlation between diversity in the initial population and Genetic Algorithms’ performance. One contribution of this paper is to show that there is not such a strong correlation between diversity and Genetic Algorithms’ performance, at least with the standard range of diversity measures used in a randomly generated population and with the misuse det...
متن کاملInitial Population Diversity Does Not Influence Performance
It is widely believed that greater initial population diversity leads to improved performance in genetic algorithms. However, this assumption has not been rigorously tested previously. We put this assumption to the test on two benchmark problems and found that greater diversity did not lead to improved performance. This result will require a serious rethinking on the part of the evolutionary co...
متن کاملEmpirical Study: Initial Population Diversity and Genetic Algorithm Performance
This article presents an empirical study regarding the hypothesis that higher diversity in initial populations for Genetic Algorithms can reduce the number of iterations required to reach an optimum and potentially increase solution quality. We develop the empirical study using some theoretical functions addressed by other researchers such that the input to the Genetic Algorithm is populations ...
متن کاملThe puzzle of nongenetic variance
Within the past decade, empirical findings in behavior genetics have importantly changed how researchers in this field think heredity and environment affect individual differences in mental ability. These insights are hardly new. Some are even found in the writings of Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911), the father of behavior genetics. But the recognition, formalization, and empirical support given...
