摘要: Evolutionary computation (EC) has been widely applied to biological and biomedical data. The practice of EC involves the tuning many parameters, such as population size, generation count, selection crossover mutation rates. Through an extensive series experiments over multiple evolutionary algorithm implementations 25 problems we show that parameter space tends be rife with viable at least for studied herein. We discuss implications this finding in researcher employing EC.
