Selection and Variation

• Tournament selection:

  • 15 individuals randomly picked from population, best two of them chosen as parents
  • weak elitism (only the best individual copied over)

• Mutation:

  • 1% chance for every bit to flip 0->1, 1->0

• Recombination:

  • unequal crossing over, always two parents for two children
  • Length of genes might change, number of genes is held constant in these experiments
