• abstract = "There have been many studies undertaken to determine the efficacy of parameters and algorithmic components of Genetic Programming, but historically, generalisation considerations have not been of central importance in such investigations. Recent contributions have stressed the importance of generalization to the future development of the field. In this paper we investigate aspects of selection bias as a component of generalisation error, where selection bias refers to the method used by the learning system to select one hypothesis over another. Sources of potential bias include the replacement strategy chosen and the means of applying selection pressure. We investigate the effects on generalisation of two replacement strategies, together with tournament selection with a range of tournament sizes. Our results suggest that larger tournaments are more prone to overfitting than smaller ones, and that a small tournament combined with a generational replacement strategy produces relatively small solutions and is least likely to over-fit.",
