On the Benefits of Distributed Populations for Noisy Optimization [PDF]
, 2003 While in the absence of noise, no improvement in local performance can be gained from retaining but the best candidate solution found so far, it has been shown experimentally that in the presence of noise, operating with a non-singular population of ...

Domination of sample maxima and related extremal dependence measures
Dependence Modeling, 2018 For a given d-dimensional distribution function (df) H we introduce the class of dependence measures μ(H, Q) = −E{n H(Z1, . . . , Zd)}, where the random vector (Z1, . . . , Zd) has df Q which has the same marginal dfs as H. If both H and Q are max-stable
