operators is presented. Starting with the principle of optimizing
search bias, search operators are selected based on an ability to
create solutions that are historically linked to future generations.
Using a novel framework for defining performance
measurements, distributing credit for performance, and the
statistical interpretation of this credit, a new adaptive method is
developed and shown to outperform a variety of adaptive and
non-adaptive competitors.Dr James M WhitacreDr Tuan Q PhamDr Ruhul A Sarker
