  abstract =     "The fitness distance correlation coefficient has been
                 shown to be a reasonable measure to quantify problem
                 difficulty in genetic algorithms and genetic
                 programming for a wide set of problems. In this paper
                 we present an hand-tailored function for which fitness
                 distance correlation fails to correctly predict problem
                 difficulty in genetic programming. This counterexample
                 proves that fitness distance correlation, although
                 reliable, is not an infallible measure to quantify
                 problem difficulty.",
