For information about chromosomes in biology chromosome In geneticalgorithm s, a chromosome also sometimes called a genome is a set of parameters which define a proposed solution to the problem that the geneticalgorithm is trying to solve. The chromosome is often represented as a simple string computer science string , although a wide variety of other data structure s are also used. Chromosome design Unreferenced date November 2009 The article would also benefit from more relevant and clearer examples. The design of the chromosome and its parameters is by necessity specific to the problem to be solved. To give a trivial example, suppose the problem is to find the integer value of math x math between 0 and 255 that provides the maximal result for math f x x 2 math . This isn t the type of problem that is normally solved by a geneticalgorithm, since it can be trivially solved using numeric methods. It is only used to serve as a simple example. Our possible solutions are the integers from 0 to 255, which can all be represented as 8 digit binary strings. Thus, we might use an 8 digit binary string as our chromosome. If a given chromosome in the population represents the value 155, its chromosome would be code 10011011 code . A more realistic problem we might wish to solve is the travelling salesman problem . In this problem, we seek an ordered list of cities that results in the shortest trip for the salesman to travel. Suppose there are six cities, which we ll call A, B, C, D, E, and F. A good design for our chromosome might be the ordered list we want to try. An example chromosome we might encounter in the population might be code DFABEC code . The mutation geneticalgorithm mutation genetic operator operator and crossover geneticalgorithm crossover operator employed by the geneticalgorithm must take into account the chromosome s design.

unreferenced date December 2007 Speciation is a process that occurs naturally in evolution and is modeled explicitly in some genetic algorithms . Speciation in nature occurs when two similar reproducing beings evolve to become too dissimilar to share genetic information effectively or correctly. In the case of living organisms , they are incapable of mating to produce offspring . Interesting special cases of different species being able to breed exist, such as a horse and a donkey mating to produce a mule . However in this case the Mule is usually infertile, and so the genetic isolation of the two parent species is maintained. In implementations of genetic search algorithms, the event of speciation is defined by some mathematical function that describes the similarity between two candidate solutions usually described as individuals in the population. If the result of the similarity is too low, the chromosomal crossover crossover Operation mathematics operator is disallowed between those individuals.

In geneticalgorithm s of computing , mutation is a genetic operator used to maintain genetic diversity from one generation of a population of algorithm chromosome geneticalgorithm chromosomes to the next. It is analogous to biological mutation . Mutation alters one or more gene values in a chromosome from its initial state. In mutation, the solution may change entirely from the previous solution. Hence GA can come to better solution by using mutation. Mutation occurs during evolution according to a user definable mutation probability. This probability should be set low. If it is set to high, the search will turn into a primitive random search. The classic example of a mutation operator involves a probability that an arbitrary bit in a genome geneticalgorithmgenetic sequence will be changed from its original state. A common method of implementing the mutation operator involves generating a random variable for each bit in a sequence. This random variable tells whether or not a particular bit will be modified. This mutation procedure, based on the biological point mutation , is called single point mutation. Other types are inversion and floating point mutation. When the gene encoding is restrictive as in permutation problems, mutations are swaps, inversions and scrambles. The purpose of mutation in GAs is preserving and introducing diversity. Mutation should allow the algorithm to avoid local minimum local minima by preventing the population of chromosomes from becoming too similar to each other, thus slowing or even stopping evolution. This reasoning also explains the fact that most GA systems avoid only taking the Fitness function fittest of the population in generating ... and float genes.

The promoter based geneticalgorithm PBGA is a geneticalgorithm for neuroevolution developed by F. Bellas and R.J. Duro in the Integrated Group for Engineering Research GII at the University of Coru a, in Spain. It evolves variable size feedforward artificial neural network s ANN that are encoded into sequences of genes for constructing a basic ANN unit. Each of these blocks is preceded by a gene promoter acting as an on off switch that determines if that particular unit will be expressed or not. PBGA basics The basic unit in the PBGA is a neuron with all of its inbound connections as represented in the following figure File pbga2.jpg The genotype of a basic unit is a set of real valued weights followed by the parameters of the neuron and proceeded by an integer valued field that determines the promoter gene value and, consequently, the expression of the unit. By concatenating units of this type we can construct the whole network. With this encoding it is imposed that the information that is not expressed is still carried by the genotype in evolution but it is shielded from direct selective pressure, maintaining this way the diversity in the population, which has been a design premise for this algorithm. Therefore, a clear difference is established between the search space and the solution space, permitting information learned and encoded into the genotypic representation to be preserved by disabling promoter genes.

Selection is the stage of a geneticalgorithm in which individual genomes are chosen from a population for later breeding recombination or crossover . A generic selection procedure may be implemented as follows The fitness function is evaluated for each individual, providing fitness values, which are then normalized. Normalization means dividing the fitness value of each individual by the sum of all fitness values, so that the sum of all resulting fitness values equals 1. The population is sorted by descending fitness values. Accumulated normalized fitness values are computed the accumulated fitness value of an individual is the sum of its own fitness value plus the fitness values of all the previous individuals . The accumulated fitness of the last individual should be 1 otherwise something went wrong in the normalization step . A random number R between 0 and 1 is chosen. The selected individual is the first one whose accumulated normalized value is greater than R . If this procedure is repeated until there are enough selected individuals, this selection method is called fitness proportionate selection or roulette wheel selection . If instead of a single pointer spun multiple times, there are multiple, equally spaced pointers on a wheel that is spun once, it is called stochastic universal sampling . Repeatedly selecting the best individual of a randomly chosen subset is tournament selection . Taking the best half, third or another proportion of the individuals is truncation selection . There are other selection algorithms that do not consider all individuals for selection, but only those with a fitness value that is higher than a given arbitrary constant. Other algorithms select from a restricted pool where only a certain percentage of the individuals are allowed, based ... a new population.

GeneticAlgorithm for Rule Set Production GARP is a computer program based on geneticalgorithm that creates Environmental niche modelling ecological niche models for species. The generated models describe environmental conditions precipitation, temperatures, elevation, etc. under which the species should be able to maintain populations. As input, local observations of species and related environmental parameters are used which describe potential limits of the species capabilities to survive. Such environmental parameters are commonly stored in geographical information systems . A GARP model is a random set of mathematical rules which can be read as limiting environmental conditions. Each rule is considered as a gene the set of genes is combined in random ways to further generate many possible models describing the potential of the species to occur.

Common genetic representations Geneticalgorithm binary array binary tree genetic tree HBGA natural language parse tree References and notes reflist DEFAULTSORT Genetic Representation Category Evolutionary algorithms ...Refimprove date December 2009 Genetic representation is a way of representing solutions individuals in evolutionary computation methods. Genetic representation can encode appearance, behavior, physical qualities of individuals. Designing a good genetic representation that is expressive and evolvable is a hard problem in evolutionary computation. Difference in genetic representations is one of the major criteria drawing a line between known classes of evolutionary computation. Geneticalgorithm s use linear binary representations. The most standard one is an array of bit s. Arrays of other types and structures can be used in essentially the same way. The main property that makes these genetic representations convenient is that their parts are easily aligned due to their fixed size. This facilitates simple crossover operation. Variable length representations were also explored in Geneticalgorithm s, but crossover implementation is more complex in this case. Evolution strategy uses linear real valued representations, e.g. an array of real values. It uses mostly gaussian mutation and blending averaging crossover. Genetic programming GP pioneered tree like representations and developed genetic operator s suitable for such representations.

Genetic distance refers to the genetics genetic divergence between species or between populations within a species. It is measured by a variety of parameters. Smaller genetic distances indicate a close genetic relationship whereas large genetic distances indicate a more distant genetic relationship.

Within a species genetic distance can be used to measure the divergence between different sub species. In its simplest form, the genetic distance between two populations is the difference ... individuals is 50.4 among Basques, 41.2 in France and 41.1 in England.
