Genetics algorithms best categorized as what type of algorithm quizler

Answer 1

Operators of Genetic Algorithms

Once the initial generation is created, the algorithm evolve the generation using following operators –

1) Selection Operator: The idea is to give preference to the individuals with good fitness scores and allow them to pass there genes to the successive generations.

2) Crossover Operator: This represents mating between individuals. Two individuals are selected using selection operator and crossover sites are chosen randomly. Then the genes at these crossover sites are exchanged thus creating a completely new individual (offspring). For example –



3) Mutation Operator: The key idea is to insert random genes in offspring to maintain the diversity in population to avoid the premature convergence. For example –



Answer 2

Answer:

In the geometric method of projection, the formula is Pp = P1(1 + r)n where, Pp= Projected population; P1 = Population as per the recent census; r= Annual rate of increase or decrease of population; and n = Number of years. This formula is the basis of Malthus's population projection.
