Correlation between the GMR, average fitness, and SD of the fitness. Each variable was computed as the value of the \(10^4\)-th generation for the MR case. The points were obtained across different mutation rates from \(2\times 10^{-4}\) to \(2\times 10^{-2}\), as indicated by the color of the data, while the noise level satisfied \(0.0\le \sigma \le 0.1\). a GMR as a function of the average fitness, b GMR as a function of the SD of the fitness, c SD of the fitness as a function of the average fitness. Note that aand ceach have three branches corresponding to different noise levels, whereas (b) does not, implying that the GMR is dominantly correlated with the fluctuation of the fitness rather than its average. The average over 50 samples is plotted. The error bar represents the SD over them. Correlation coefficient is (a) 0.952, b \(-0.973\), c \(-0.926\)
