• abstract = "In [Luke and Spector 1997] we presented a comprehensive suite of data comparing GP crossover and point mutation over four domains and a wide range of parameter settings. Unfortunately, the results were marred by statistical flaws. This revision of the study eliminates these flaws, with three times as much the data as the original experiments had. Our results again show that crossover does have some advantage over mutation given the right parameter settings (primarily larger population sizes), though the difference between the two surprisingly small. Further, the results are complex, suggesting that the big picture is more complicated than is commonly believed.",
• notes = "GP-98 This paper is a revision of a previous paper \cite{luke:1997:ccmGP}, with statistical correction and a considerable new set of data. However, the original also has some data that does not appear here, so you may want to consider getting both. Also: Figures 1 through 4 are separated from the rest of the paper in the Gzipped PostScript version (not the PDF version). The figures are listed in the figure URLs below. Finally: if you downloaded a copy of this paper prior to May 20, 1998, its graphs were wrong; get the revised revised version. :-",
