Cosmological Parameter Estimation with Genetic Algorithms
Universe, 2023 Genetic algorithms are a powerful tool in optimization for single and multimodal functions. This paper provides an overview of their fundamentals with some analytical examples. In addition, we explore how they can be used as a parameter estimation tool in cosmological models to maximize the likelihood function, complementing the analysis with the ...

Genetic analysis of fetal loss in Holstein cattle
Journal of Dairy Science, 2022 : Pregnancy loss is recognized as one of the major factors contributing to poor reproductive performance in dairy cattle. Here, we performed a comprehensive genetic analysis of fetal loss, defined as a pregnancy loss that occurs after detection of a ...

Application of a single-objective, hybrid genetic algorithm approach to pharmacokinetic model building. [PDF]
, 2012 A limitation in traditional stepwise population pharmacokinetic model building is the difficulty in handling interactions between model components. To address this issue, a method was previously introduced which couples NONMEM parameter estimation and ...

Dynamic Parameter Encoding for Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
Machine Learning, 1992 The common use of static binary place-value codes for real-valued parameters of the phenotype in Holland's genetic algorithm (GA) forces either the sacrifice of representational precision for efficiency of search or vice versa. Dynamic Parameter Encoding (DPE) is a mechanism that avoids this dilemma by using convergence statistics derived from the GA ...
