Influence of Experiment Design in GPA Investigating with Respect to PRNGs

This paper analyses the influence of experiment parameters onto the reliability of experiments with genetic programming algorithms. The paper is focused on the required number of experiments and especially on the influence of parallel execution which affect not only the order of thread execution bu...
