Subject: preliminary error tests (PUEO) 

Here are some preliminary results from testing the effect of error on growth in the GA. For this test, we start with a simulated error of 0.5 because our true fitness score is bounded between 0.0 and 1.0. From here, we simulate doubling the number of neutrinos by reducing the error by root(2), then root(4), and observed the growth on the fitness scores plots. We did these three tests with both 50 and 100 individuals (plots starting with 30 use 50 and starting with 60 use 100). Looking at the plots, we can see that the only plot that shows growth is 100 individuals with halved error (corresponding to 4 times the number of neutrinos). In fact, it took going to root(25) (corresponding to 25 times the number of neutrinos) to observe comparable growth with 50 individuals. This leads us to believe we likely need to increase both neutrinos and individuals to see meaningful growth in our GA. Further tests are required to see how consistent these results are. Another test, though unrealistic, we ran 1000 individuals with the root(25), this test was optimized in around 10 generations, this could be seen as a maximum performance standard.
