Abstract
To be able to keep track of the performance of a neuroevolutionary system, it is essential for that system to be able to accumulate the various statistics with regards to its fitness, population dynamics, and other changing features, throughout the evolutionary run. In this chapter we add to the population_monitor of our TWEANN system the ability to compose a trace, which is a list of tuples, where each tuple is calculated every 500 (by default) evaluations, containing the various statistics about the population achieved during those evaluations, tracing the population’s path through its evolutionary history.
