Mitigating Selection Bias in Local Optima: A Meta-Analysis of Niching Methods in Continuous Optimization by Junchen Wang, Changhe Li, Yiya Diao

“…On the other hand, convergence biases induced by differences in size and average fitness, both of which equate to the difference in size of superior region, pose a challenge to any EC method driven by objective functions. As niching methods limit survivor selection to specified neighborhoods to mitigate the latter biases, we abstract five niching techniques from these methods by their definitions of neighborhood for restricted competition, thus identifying key parameters that govern their efficacy. …”
