Implementing Common Selection Strategies
Balancing genetic diversity with strong solutions can be difficult to achieve without a smart selection strategy. Fortunately, there are common selection strategies that are battle-tested and proven to work well for many different problem sets.
The strategies you’ll learn about in this section are:
- Elitism selection
- Random selection
- Tournament selection
- Roulette selection
You’ll see how these strategies work, what each of their drawbacks are, and how to implement them in Elixir so you can add them to your toolbox.
