- abstract = "This thesis documents new extensions to the selection model in genetic programming, intended to be analogous to the more complex behaviour of selection in natural evolution. More specifically, non-random mating models of negative inbreeding and negative assortative mating are presented. A model of psychological evolution is also presented, allowing the mating strategy to change throughout the evolutionary process. This approach results in a preservation of structural and nodal diversity, causing slower convergence. On average, the schemes provide an increase in the success rate of the system. An analysis of the computational effort required by each of the selection schemes is presented, concluding that some of the new selection schemes are viable with regard to success rate return on processor investment.",
