Excluding 'super' seed individuals

Sorry, codemonkey_uk I misread your message. Only after I had posted my reply did I read it properly. I hadn't thought of seeding the pool with some good initial individuals. Do you exclude them from the evolution process, so as not to bias potential solutions?

Cheers,

Jester

I wouldn't personally exclude them... just don't select them too often, by adding randomness to the selection. See my post above called 'stochastic elitism'
