7.3 Contraditory objectives diagnostic

Here we present the results for satisfactory trait coverage and activation gene coverage found by each tournament selection size value replicate on the ordered exploitation diagnostic. Satisfactory trait coverage refers to the count of unique satisfied traits in the population, while activation gene coverage refers to the count of unique activation genes in the population. Note that both coverage values fall between 0 and 100.

7.4 Multi-path exploration results

Here we present the results for best performances and activation gene coverage found by each tournament selection size value replicate on the multi-path exploration diagnostic. Best performance found refers to the largest average trait score found in a given population, while activation gene coverage refers to the count of unique activation genes in the population. Note that both values fall between 0 and 100.

7.4.1 Performance

Here we analyze the performances for each parameter replicate on the multi-path exploration diagnostic.

7.4.1.2 Best performance throughout

Here we plot the performance of the best performing solution found throughout 50,000 generations.
