Three fitness functions illustrated using the same set of 100 simulated individuals with performance values drawn from a normal distribution with mean = 10 and standard deviation = 1. (a) threshold selection (b) stochastic proportionate selection (SPS), (c) deterministic proportionate selection (using (8)). Each mark represents one individual.
