In this study, authors concentrate on the selection noise characteristic of SSs. Recall that genetic drift, a well-known phenomenon in population genetics, is observed in GAs due to the stochastic nature of SSs. In a finite size population, a random selection among individuals of equal fitness leads to a disproportion between the expected and actual number of copies of an individual in the mating pool.
We study selection noise of the most popular SSs used in generational GAs.
