EO is loosely based on biological chromosomes and genes, and reproductive mechanisms including selection, chromosome crossover and gene mutation. EO is really a type of genetic algorithm (GA) and ...

When using a genetic algorithm, it is important to carefully set the population size and the mutation and crossover rate. A small population size, or a high mutation rate, might prevent the ...

Genetic Algorithms involve three main types of rules ... that contribute to the population at the next generation), crossover rules (combines two parents to form children for the next generation ...

Researchers have presented the most precise map of genetic recombination yet ... up and exchange sections of DNA in a process called crossover. In a different type of recombination, called ...
