Clonal selection and expansion

Algorithms based on clonal selection and expansion are inspired by the process of antibody proliferation after the detection of an antigen, during which the generated antibodies undergo mutations in an attempt to improve pathogen recognition. ¹

---

Clonal selection and expansion can be applied in different contexts, such as:

• Optimization
• Classification

Package implementation

Artificial Immune Recognition System (AIRS)

Classification algorithm inspired by the clonal selection process.

Clonal Selection Algorithm (CLONALG)

Optimization algorithm inspired by the biological process of clonal selection of the immune system.
