A mathematical framework based on probability theory is presented that enables us to analyze one important aspect of SI algorithms: the population diversity. Firstly the population density degree is defined for the population in the SI algorithms. The population diversity is then discussed from the point of view of the normal distribution in statistics. We show that there is a close connection between the distribution and population diversity and that the essential structure of population diversity is quite similar to that of the distribution. A detailed construction of the population diversity model is then given that is based on probability distributions. The paper concludes with a generic numerical example that validates the population diversity model.
