  2. Genetic algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm

    A very small mutation rate may lead to genetic drift (which is non-ergodic in nature). A recombination rate that is too high may lead to premature convergence of the genetic algorithm. A mutation rate that is too high may lead to loss of good solutions, unless elitist selection is employed. An adequate population size ensures sufficient genetic ...

  3. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    A greedy algorithm is any algorithm that follows the problem-solving heuristic of making the locally optimal choice at each stage. [1] In many problems, a greedy strategy does not produce an optimal solution, but a greedy heuristic can yield locally optimal solutions that approximate a globally optimal solution in a reasonable amount of time.

  4. Infinite sites model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_sites_model

    Like other mutation models, the ISM provides a basis for understanding how mutation develops new alleles in DNA sequences. Using allele frequencies, it allows for the calculation of heterozygosity , or genetic diversity , in a finite population and for the estimation of genetic distances between populations of interest.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_(evolutionary...

    The following requirements apply to all mutation operators used in an EA: [2] [3] every point in the search space must be reachable by one or more mutations. there must be no preference for parts or directions in the search space (no drift). small mutations should be more probable than large ones.

  6. The Selfish Gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Selfish_Gene

    The fundamental units of natural selection, the basic things that survive or fail to survive, that form lineages of identical copies with occasional random mutations, are called replicators. DNA molecules are replicators. They generally, for reasons that we shall come to, gang together into large communal survival machines or 'vehicles'."

    As you dive into your New Year’s resolutions, taking precautions to protect yourself from a quartet of infectious diseases can lessen your odds of starting off 2025 sick.

  8. Simulated annealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_annealing

    Probabilistic criteria, similar to those used in SA, are used to select the candidates for mutation or combination, and for discarding excess solutions from the pool. Memetic algorithms search for solutions by employing a set of agents that both cooperate and compete in the process; sometimes the agents' strategies involve simulated annealing ...

    A potential revival of the classic NBC comedy The Facts of Life was effectively sabotaged by a “greedy” co-star who quietly tried to set up her own spinoff, says Mindy Cohn. During a recent ...
