How Effective Are Multiple Populations in Genetic Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of multiple populations in Genetic Programming is an area that is just beginning to be investigated. To date a number of conflicting reports have been generated with respect to the effectiveness of multiple populations in GP. We report here that these conflicting reports may be due a problem-dependent nature found in GP that has not been reported in GAs. This paper will review: what both multiple populations and speed-up mean in the areas of GA/GP, some conflicting results that have been reported in the GP literature on whether multiple populations gives speed-up to GP problems, and offer an answer as to why different GP problems show different kinds of speed-up when using multiple populations.

Bankruptcy Prediction: Dynamic Geometric Genetic Programming (DGGP) Approach
In this paper, a new Dynamic Geometric Genetic Programming (DGGP) technique is applied to empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy prediction. Financial ratios are indeed desirable for prediction of corporate bankruptcy and identification of firms’ impending failure for investors, creditors, borrowing firms, and governments. By the time, several methods have been attempted in...
متن کاملDifferences in Genetic Structure among Fagus orientalis Lipsky (Oriental Beech) Populations under Different Management Conditions: Implications for in situ Gene Conservation
Resource sustainability requires a thorough understanding of the influence of forest management programs on the conservation of genetic diversity in tree populations. To observe how differences in forest management affect the genetic structure of Fagus orientalis Lipsky (oriental beech), we evaluated thirteen beech sites across Hyrcanian forests, based on six microsatellite loci. Significant di...
متن کاملA Fast and Self-Repairing Genetic Programming Designer for Logic Circuits
Usually, important parameters in the design and implementation of combinational logic circuits are the number of gates, transistors, and the levels used in the design of the circuit. In this regard, various evolutionary paradigms with different competency have recently been introduced. However, while being advantageous, evolutionary paradigms also have some limitations including: a) lack of con...

In this paper, the transportation problem under the carbon emission trading program ismodelled by mathematical programming and genetic algorithm. Since green supply chain issuesbecome important and new legislations are taken into account, carbon emissions costs are included inthe total costs of the supply chain. The optimisation model has the ability to minimise the total costsand provides the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Genetic Diversity in Japanese and English White Quail Populations Using Microsatellite Markers
The Japanese and English White quails are widespread strains and belongs to the Galliformes order, Phasianidae family, Coturnix genus and Japonica species. These birds are likely to be well-adapted to the hard conditions and resistance to diseases as it has attained economic importance as an agricultural species. In the current study, the genetic variation of Japanese and English White quail ...
