Ideally how many chromosomes in the population should I kill during steady state selection?
<p>According to the book <a href="http://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/book/metaheuristics/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Essentials of Metaheuristics </a> and this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4768196/genetic-algorithm-what-is-steady-state-selection">Stack Overflow thread</a>, I should select parent chromosomes in the population upon which I should kill to make room for the new ones. My question is from your experience, ideally how many should I kill, say if my size of population is 100? or what if my population size is 50? </p>

<p>Note: I also assumed here that the <code>number of offspring == number of parents to kill</code> </p>
