Figure 12. Effect of elitism in the best fitness per generation.
Figure 13. Standard deviation of the average best fitness for elitism vs. not elitism.
We use simple elitism, i.e., the best parent is passed unmodified to the next
generation. As it is shown in Figure 12, by not using elitism there is a risk of losing good
individuals, which may also increase the number of generations needed to find a good
solution.
