A Comparative Analysis of Selection Schemes Used in Genetic Algorithms

, and . Foundations of Genetic Algorithms, page 69--93. San Francisco, CA: Morgan Kaufmann, (1991)

Abstract

This paper considers a number of selection schemes commonly used in modern genetic algorithms. Specifically, proportionate reproduction, rank- ing selection, tournament selection, and Genitor (or "steady state") selec- tion are compared on the basis of solutions to deterministic difference or differential equations, which are verified through computer simulations. The analysis provides convenient approximate or exact solutions as well as useful convergence time and growth ratio estimates. The paper rec- ommends practical application of the analyses and suggests a number of paths for more detailed analytical investigation of selection techniques.
