\section{Model Evaluation and Improvements}
The model was evaluated
for efficiency by measuring the
amount number of
generations. generations required to reach apparent-optima. Based on this metric, the basic algorithm is efficient (i.e. not many generations are required to get a solution that is
relatively seemingly close to optimal). However, the model is not very accurate. A significant tradeoff between efficiency (the number of generations required to reach the optimal solution) and accuracy
(F1 ($F_1$ score) was observed.
To mitigate this problem, the model could be improved by introducing sexual reproduction into the genetic algorithm. Sexual reproduction would tend to find the optimal solution more efficiency because sexual reproduction produces greater genetic diversity than asexual reproduction.\cite{reed2003correlation}
