Parameterisation of mutation in evolutionary algorithms using the estimated main effect of genes (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Chan, K. Y., Aydin, M. E., & Fogarty, T. C. (2004). Parameterisation of mutation in evolutionary algorithms using the estimated main effect of genes. . https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2004.1331024

This paper describes how to estimate the main effect of genes in genetic algorithms (GAs). The resulting estimates can not only be used to understand the domination of genes in a GA but also employed to tailor the mutation rate in the GA. A new appro...
