Fitness (genetic algorithm)

 

Fitness (genetic algorithm)

In optimisation techniques an objective measure is how good the solutions it finds are. Eg a way of building a bridge across the M4 will cost 400,000. In genetic algorithms and genetic programming, by analogy with natural selection this is called fitness. Fitness is used to guide the search by deciding which individuals will be used as future points to look for better solutions.
