pSchema Theory
Schema theory (J. Holland, 1975) – tries to analyze effect of selection, crossover and mutation
on the population’s genotype in order to answer the question: ”Why and How Evolutionary
Algorithms Work?”
In its original form the schema theory assumes:
binary representation,
proportionate roulette wheel selection,
1-point crossover and bit-flip mutation.
