Genetic algorithm with a new round-robin based tournament selection: Statistical properties analysis.

ABSTRACT: A round-robin tournament is a contest where each and every player plays with all the other players. In this study, we propose a round-robin based tournament selection operator for the genetic algorithms (GAs). At first, we divide the whole population into two equal and disjoint groups, then each individual of a group competes with all the individuals of other group. Statistical experimental results reveal that the devised selection operator has a relatively better selection pressure along with a minimal loss of population diversity. For the consisting of assigned probability distribution with sampling algorithms, we employ the Pearson's chi-square and the empirical distribution function as goodness of fit tests for the analysis of statistical properties analysis. At the cost of a nominal i
