Abstract
In order to test the suitability of an evolutionary algorithm designed for real-world application, thorough parameter testing is needed to establish parameter sensitivity, solution quality reliability, and associated issues. One approach is to produce ‘performance profiles’, which display performance measures against a variety of parameter settings. Interesting and robust features have recently been observed in performance profiles of an evolutionary algorithm applied to a real world problem, which have also been observed ...
