Real Analysis Examples

Let's walk through some concrete examples that show how Sourcetable transforms evolutionary algorithm analysis from tedious to triumphant.

Example 1: Genetic Algorithm vs. Differential Evolution

A researcher compared genetic algorithms and differential evolution on 30 benchmark functions. Instead of manually creating dozens of charts, they uploaded their results to Sourcetable. The AI immediately generated:

    The insight? Differential evolution dominated on unimodal functions, while genetic algorithms excelled on highly multimodal landscapes. This pattern wasn't obvious from raw numbers but became crystal clear through AI-powered visualization.

    Example 2: Population Size Sensitivity Study

    An optimization team needed to understand how population size affects their custom evolutionary strategy. They tested populations from 20 to 500 individuals across multiple problems. Sourcetable's analysis revealed:

      The AI even predicted optimal population sizes for untested problem dimensions using regression analysis on the existing data.

      Example 3: Multi-Algorithm Portfolio Analysis

      A consulting firm maintained a toolkit of 12 different evolutionary algorithms. They needed to understand which algorithm to recommend for different client scenarios. Sourcetable's analysis created:

        This transformed their client consultations from gut-feeling recommendations to data-driven algorithm selection with confidence intervals.


        Frequently Asked Questions

        Can I analyze custom evolutionary algorithms or just standard ones?

        Sourcetable works with any evolutionary algorithm data. Whether you're analyzing canonical genetic algorithms, custom hybrid approaches, or novel evolutionary strategies, our AI adapts to your data structure and identifies relevant patterns automatically.

        How does the AI understand evolutionary algorithm concepts?

        Our AI is trained on optimization literature and understands concepts like convergence, diversity, selection pressure, and exploration-exploitation trade-offs. It automatically applies relevant statistical tests and generates domain-appropriate visualizations.

        Can I compare algorithms with different representations or operators?

        Absolutely. Sourcetable handles heterogeneous algorithm comparisons by focusing on performance metrics rather than implementation details. Compare binary genetic algorithms against real-valued differential evolution or any other combination.

        What file formats can I import for analysis?

        Import CSV, Excel, JSON, or connect to databases directly. Common formats include fitness logs, generation statistics, population dumps, and convergence traces. The AI automatically detects data structure and suggests appropriate analysis approaches.

        How do I handle noisy or stochastic algorithm results?

        Sourcetable automatically applies statistical methods for stochastic optimization analysis. It handles multiple runs, calculates confidence intervals, performs significance testing, and identifies robust performance patterns across random variations.

        Can I generate publication-ready figures and tables?

        Yes. Export high-resolution charts, statistical tables, and interactive visualizations suitable for academic papers, conference presentations, or technical reports. All visualizations follow scientific plotting best practices.
