Exchange mutation operator

Pair up the individuals in the mating pool and generate A(> /r) new-born offspring individuals using the operators of recombination and mutation. In this study, each chromosome consists of three portions. For the first portion of the chromosome, discrete recombination operators, repeated exchange mutation operators, and evolutionary inversion mutation operators are employed. For the second portion of the chromosome, traditional gene-alter mutation operators and traditional discrete recombination operators are developed. For the third portion of the chromosome, exchange mutation operators and traditional discrete recombination operators are developed.

Figure 11.11 shows examples of the three basic genetic operations of reproduction, crossover and mutation, as applied to a population of 8-bit chromosomes. Reproduction makes a set of identical copies of a given chromosome, where the number of copies depends on the chromosome s fitness (see below). The crossover operator exchanges subparts of two chromosomes, where the position of the crossover is randomly selected, and is thus a crude facsimile of biological sexual recombination between two single-chromosome organisms. The mutation operator randomly flips one or more bits in the chromosome, where the bit positions are randomly chosen. 

Table 11.3 One pass (read left to right) through the step.s of a basic genetic algorithm scheme to maximize the fitness function f x) = using a population of six 6-bit chromosomes. The crossover notation aina2) means that chromosomes Ca, and Ca2 exchange bits beyond the bit. The underlined bits in the Mutation Operation column are the only ones that have undergone random mutation. See text for other details.

Here LSE is the usual least squares error, c is the number of basis functions, p is the number of total basis functions (which can exceed c), M is the number of compounds in the training set, and d is a smoothing function which is typically chosen equal to 1. This scaling of the LSE penalizes models that overfit the data due to using many features and/or basis functions. This is an example of a parsimonious fitting method. The population then undergoes selection, crossover, and mutation. The crossover operator simply exchanges subparts of the chromosomes of the two parents. The mutation operator adds or subtracts a basis funaion. There are additional operations when splines are used as basis functions. 

Figure 2 Genetic operators used to create a population of children chromosomes from a population of parent chromosomes, (a) Single-point mutation. A gene to he mutated is selected at random, and its value is modified, (b) One-point crossover. The crossover point is selected randomly, and the genes are exchanged between the two parents. Two children are created, each having genes from both parents.

Since each batch ID must occur a certain number of times (as often as the number of recipe steps of the batch), a recombination operator that preserves permutations is applied. The two best individuals out of a set of randomly chosen individuals are selected from the population. Then a random segment is copied from the first individual into a new individual. The missing elements are filled with the entries of the second individual. The newly generated individual is then subject to mutation with a probability p. By mutation, two randomly chosen entries are exchanged. 

Genetic operators They are responsible for changing the chromosomes by either mutation or recombination. Like in biological evolution, point mutations switch a particular component of the chromosome vector, whereas recombination exchanges components of two chromosomes to produce a new mixed chromosome (Figure 4.17). 

Operators that may be applied to parents when they reproduce to tilter their genetic composition, such as crossover (i.e., exchanging a randomly selected segment between parents), mutation (i.e., gene modification), and other domain-specific operators... 

The PSO algorithm is based on a sociometric principle called gi,, which connects all the members of the swarm to one another (Kennedy and Eberhart, 2001). Each particle is affected by the very best performance of any member of the whole population. The key operators involved in evolutionary algorithm (EA) are recombination, mutation and selection however, PSO does not have a direct recombination operator (Kennedy and Eberhart, 2001). But, the stochastic acceleration of a particle towards its previous best position as well as towards the best particle of the swarm resembles the recombination in EA. In PSO, the information exchange takes place merely among the particle s own experience and the experience of the best particle in the swarm instead of being carried from fitness-dependent... 

In practice, GAs normally operate on a set of binary codes that represent the entities of the population. These operations involve three basic classes of processes recombination, mutation and selection. Whilst the recombination process leads to the exchange of information between a pair of codes, the mutation process alters the value of single bits in a code. Recombination produces offspring codes by combining the information contained in the codes of their parents. Depending on the form of the representation of the codes, two types of recombination can be applied real-valued recombination or binary-valued crossover.
