Effective fitness

In natural evolution and artificial evolution (e.g. artificial life and evolutionary computation) the fitness (or performance or objective measure) of a schema is rescaled to give its effective fitness which takes into account crossover and mutation.

Effective fitness is used in Evolutionary Computation to understand population dynamics.[1] While a biological fitness function only looks at reproductive success, an effective fitness function tries to encompass things that are needed to be fulfilled for survival on population level.[2] In homogeneous populations, reproductive fitness and effective fitness are equal.[1] When a population moves away from homogeneity a higher effective fitness is reached for the recessive genotype. This advantage will decrease while the population moves toward an equilibrium.[1] The deviation from this equilibrium displays how close the population is to achieving a steady state.[1]  When this equilibrium is reached, the maximum effective fitness of the population is achieved.[3]

Problem solving with evolutionary computation is realized with a cost function.[4] If cost functions are applied to swarm optimization they are called a fitness function. Strategies like reinforcement learning[5] and NEAT neuroevolution[6] are creating a fitness landscape which describes the reproductive success of cellular automata.[7][8]

The effective fitness function models the number of fit offspring[1] and is used in calculations that include evolutionary processes, such as mutation and crossover, important on the population level.[9]

The effective fitness model is superior to its predecessor, the standard reproductive fitness model. It advances in the qualitatively and quantitatively understanding of evolutionary concepts like bloat, self-adaptation, and evolutionary robustness.[3] While reproductive fitness only looks at pure selection, effective fitness describes the flow of a population and natural selection by taking genetic operators into account.[1][3]

A normal fitness function fits to a problem,[10] while an effective fitness function is an assumption if the objective was reached.[11] The difference is important for designing fitness functions with algorithms like novelty search in which the objective of the agents is unknown.[12][13] In the case of bacteria effective fitness could include production of toxins and rate of mutation of different plasmids, which are mostly stochastically determined[14]
