Abstract
This thesis defines a genetic algorithm performance diagnostic heuristic based on the building block hypothesis and the Schema Theorem. The heuristic attempts to integrate information from the Schema Theorem in a manner that correlates with observed GA performance. The heuristic was coded and tested against a genetic algorithm processing a variety of objective functions. The results of these experiments are included.
