Review text

From authors abstract: ``We consider a function-valued trait \(z(t)\) whose pre-selection distribution is Gaussian, and a fitness function \(W\) that models optimizing selection, subject to certain natural assumptions. We show that the post-selection distribution of \(z(t)\) is also Gaussian, compute the selection differential, and derive an equation that expresses the selection gradient in terms of the parameters of \(W\) and of the pre-selection distribution. We make no assumption on the nature of the time parameter \(t\).
