Abstract

This paper first analyses the impact of variance on schema transmission. Working from an exact derivation of the expected variance in schema transmission, it derives and analyses the signal-to-noise ratio for schemata. The paper then presents short term schema transmission probability results that focus on newly created schemata in the population. The analysis reveals the relative dependencies between schema transmission, population size, schema measured fitness, schema fragility and schema creation.
