From mating pool distributions to model overfitting
- In GECCO ’08: Proc. of the 10th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation
, 2008
"... This paper addresses selection as a source of overfitting in Bayesian estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs). The purpose of the paper is twofold. First, it shows how the selection operator can lead to model overfitting in the Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA). Second, the metric score tha ..."

A Fast Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm for Multi-Objective Optimization: NSGA-II
, 2000
"... Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms which use non-dominated sorting and sharing have been mainly criticized for their (i) -4 computational complexity (where is the number of objectives and is the population size), (ii) non-elitism approach, and (iii) the need for specifying a sharing ..."

complexity is presented. Second, a selection operator is presented which creates a mating pool by combining the parent and child populations and selecting the best (with respect to fitness and spread) solutions. Simulation results on five difficult test problems show that the proposed NSGA-II is able
A Fast and Elitist Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm: NSGA-II

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms which use non-dominated sorting and sharing have been mainly criticized for their (i) O(MN computational complexity (where M is the number of objectives and N is the population size), (ii) non-elitism approach, and (iii) the need for specifying a sharing param ..."

Intelligent Interfaces of a Schwarz Domain Decomposition Method via Genetic Algorithms for Solving Nonlinear PDEs: Application to Transonic Flows Simulations

Sex ratio and mate preferences: A cross-cultural investigation
- European Journal of Social Psychology
, 2007
"... Sex ratio is the number of men per 100 reproductive-age women within a specified mating pool. We generated and tested two hypotheses about the cross-cultural relationships between sex ratio and mate preferences using preference ratings of 18 characteristics provided by 9809 participants and correspo ..."

Mating games: the evolution of human mating transactions
"... We propose a new, evolutionary, game-theoretic model of conditional human mating strategies that integrates currently disconnected bodies of data into a single mathematically-explicit theory of human mating transactions. The model focuses on the problem of how much resource a male must provide to a ..."

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS AND GROUP PROCESSES Mate Preferences Do Predict Attraction and Choices in the Early Stages of Mate Selection
"... Although mate preference research has firmly established that men value physical attractiveness more than women do and women value social status more than men do, recent speed-dating studies have indicated mixed evidence (at best) for whether people’s sex-differentiated mate preferences predict actu ..."

they most want to avoid in early selection contexts. Following this model, we conducted experiments using online messaging and modified speed-dating platforms. Results indicate that when a mating pool includes people at the low end of social status and physical attractiveness, mate choice criteria are sex
Learning rules for optimal selection in a varying environment: mate choice revisited
- Behavioral Ecology
, 2006
"... The quality of a chosen partner can be one of the most significant factors affecting an animal’s long-term reproductive success. We investigate optimal mate choice rules in an environment where there is both local variation in the quality of potential mates within each local mating pool and spatial ..."

Male mating success in the Azorean rock-pool blenny: the effects of body size, male behaviour and nest characteristics
, 2000
"... Larger male Azorean rock-pool blennies Parablennius sanguinolentus parvicornis received more female visits, were courted more often by females and received more spawnings. Larger males also received a higher number of male intrusions, attacked more conspecifics and defended larger territories. Larg ..."

However, nest opening area was associated significantly negatively with male mating success, when controlling for male size. Thus, the present data
Pooled Sample Screening with Quality Control
"... • Screening for HIV in blood donors is done one unit at a time by ELISA test; costs about $1 per unit • Seropositive units are re-tested with Western-blot test (“Gold Standard”); costs about $20 per unit • Seronegative units are not re-tested • False negative units are not discovered until HIV infec ..."
