# Introduction

This is the supplemental material associated with our 2021 GPTP contribution entitled, _An Exploration of Exploration: Measuring the ability of lexicase selection to find obscure pathways_.
Preprint forthcoming.

## About our supplemental material

This supplemental material is hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com) using GitHub pages.
The source code and configuration files used to generate this supplemental material can be found in [this GitHub repository](https://github.com/jgh9094/GPTP-2021-Exploration-Of-Exploration).
We compiled our data analyses and supplemental documentation into this nifty web-accessible book using [bookdown](https://bookdown.org/).

Our supplemental material includes the following:

- Data availability (Section \@ref(data-availability))
- Guide for running our software (Section \@ref(compile-and-run-experiments))
- Experiment analyses:
  - Tournament selection versus lexicase selection (Section \@ref(tournament-selection-vs-lexicase-selection))
  - Lexicase selection at a range of diagnostic cardinalities (Section \@ref(diagnostic-cardinality))
  - Increasing population size versus increasing generations (Section \@ref(increasing-population-size-versus-increasing-generations))
  - Epsilon lexicase selection (Section \@ref(epsilon-lexicase))
  - Down-sampled lexicase selection (Section \@ref(down-sampled-lexicase))
    - Down-sampled lexicase selection (increased population size) (Section \@ref(down-sampled-lexicase-with-increased-population-size))
  - Cohort lexicase selection (Section \@ref(cohort-lexicase))
    - Cohort lexicase selection (increased population size) (Section \@ref(cohort-lexicase-with-increased-population-size))
  - Novelty-lexicase selection (Section \@ref(novelty-lexicase))
