An Investigation Into the Selection Method of Crossover Points in a Genetic Program, 2002, Unpublished manuscript.
Abstract
This research assesses the use of six properties for use in crossover point selection methods. In order to do this, exhaustive crossover was performed between pairs of individuals after selected generations. This showed that the selected of crossover points is significant to the effectiveness of the crossover operation. It also showed that current methods used to select crossover points are not optimal. The results show strong correlations between several metrics and the percent of beneficial crossovers. These results provide a strong foundation for designing future crossover point selection methods.
