Rank-based selection is a genetic algorithm technique where individuals in a population are ranked according to their fitness, and selection for reproduction is based on this ranking rather than absolute fitness values. This method helps maintain genetic diversity and reduces the risk of premature convergence by ensuring that even lower-fitness individuals have a chance to contribute to the next generation, which can lead to better overall solutions over time.
congrats on reading the definition of rank-based selection. now let's actually learn it.
