I'd love to see reports of basic genetic genetic properties of the population. What's the variance in fitness within each generation? This turns out to be the key factor in the rate of evolution [1], assuming that one defines fitness the way that geneticists do.
Also, estimates of the relative strengths of mutation, selection, and drift would be nice, as would options for distinguishing between hard and soft selection. These sorts of diagnostics and options could really improve the method's effectiveness.
