A probabilistic interpretation of replicator-mutator dynamics
In this note, we investigate the relationship between probabilistic updating mechanisms and discrete-time replicator-mutator dynamics. We consider the recently shown connection between Bayesian updating and replicator dynamics and extend it to the replicator-mutator dynamics by considering prediction and filtering recursions in hidden Markov models (HMM). We show that it is possible to understand the evolution of the frequency vector of a population under the replicator-mutator equation as a posterior predictive inference procedure in an HMM. This view enables us to derive a natural dual version of the replicator-mutator equation, which corresponds to updating the filtering distribution. Finally, we conclude with the implications of the interpretation and with some comments related to the recent discussions about evolution and learning.

Connections between sequential Bayesian inference and evolutionary dynamics
It has long been posited that there is a connection between the dynamical equations describing evolutionary processes in biology and sequential Bayesian learning methods. This manuscript describes new research in which t…

In this paper, we consider the replicator-mutator dynamics for pairwise social dilemmas where the payoff entries are random variables. The randomness is incorporated to take into account the uncertainty, which is inevita…

The replicator-mutator equation is a model for populations of individuals carrying different traits, with a fitness function mediating their ability to replicate, and a stochastic model for mutation. We derive analytical…
