Start Small, Grow Big? Saving Multi-objective Function Evaluations
The influence of non-constant population sizes in evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms is investigated. In contrast to evolutionary single-objective optimization algorithms an increasing population size is considered beneficial when approaching the Pareto-front. Firstly, different deterministic schedules are tested, featuring different parameters like the initial population size...
متن کاملDeveloping the EATMS architecture: think big - start small
The European Air Traffic Management System is characterised by a floating initial situation and continuous change because of the autonomous and evolutionary nature of its components. This is a key driver in the specification and design of the EATMS architecture. The EATMS development strategy should be based on a clear operational philosophy and a clear realisation process. This will result in ...
متن کاملSmall Pores with a Big Impact.
The guard cells surrounding stomatal pores of leaves are, at once, the best characterized and some of the most intriguing of cells in the plant kingdom. There are, of course, some very basic reasons for our interest in stomatal guard cells. The stomatal pore connects the inner air space of the leaf with the atmosphere, providing a route for gaseous exchange that bypasses the otherwise impermeab...
متن کاملAdaptive sample size modification in clinical trials: start small then ask for more?
We consider sample size re-estimation in a clinical trial, in particular when there is a significant delay before the measurement of patient response. Mehta and Pocock have proposed methods in which sample size is increased when interim results fall in a 'promising zone' where it is deemed worthwhile to increase conditional power by adding more subjects. Our analysis reveals potential pitfalls ...
متن کاملHow do plants achieve tolerance to phosphorus deficiency? Small causes with big effects.
Genotypic differences in phosphorus (P) uptake from P-deficient soils may be due to higher root growth or higher external root efficiency (micrograms of P taken up per square centimeter of root surface area). Both factors are highly interrelated because any additional P provided by externally efficient roots will also stimulate root growth. It will be necessary to separate both factors to ident...
