Abstract
This paper proposes a statistical methodology for comparing the performance of evolutionary computation algorithms. A two-fold sampling scheme for collecting performance data is introduced, and this data is assessed using a multiple hypothesis testing framework relying on a bootstrap resampling procedure. The proposed method offers a convenient, flexible, and reliable approach to comparing algorithms in a wide variety of applications. KEY WORDS Evolutionary computation, statistics, performanc
