Data for "Optimal Static Mutation Strength Distributions for the (1+λ) Evolutionary Algorithm on OneMax"

This collection contains the data (and the copy of the code that generated that data) for the paper "Optimal Static Mutation Strength Distributions for the (1+λ) Evolutionary Algorithm on OneMax" accepted for the GECCO 2021 conference.

The files are:

• one-plus-lambda-on-onemax.tar.gz: the source code to reproduce the experiments.
• algorithm-expectations-flat.csv: the expected running times of various \((1+\lambda)\) algorithms, including the one that uses optimal distributions.
• static-N-distributions.csv: the distributions optimized by CMA-ES, where N is the problem size.
• static-N-distribution-stddev.csv: maximum deviation between the distributions over the "accepted" runs.
• static-N-deviations.csv: the sorted deviations of the outcomes of distribution optimization compared to the best achieved runs.
• static-N-summary.csv: the expected running times of the  \((1+\lambda)\) EA using the optimal distribution.
• static-N-fitness-log.csv: fitness traces from the optimization runs.
