# Downsampling the Training Data
Downsampling is a very simple way to improve the efficiency of your evolutionary runs. It might allow for deeper evolutionary searches and a greater success rate.
Using Downsampled-Lexicase selection with propeller is easy:
Set the :parent-selection argument to :ds-lexicase as follows
```clojure
lein run -m propeller.problems.simple-regression :parent-selection :ds-lexicase <ARGS>
```
Arguments:
- Case Downsampling function:
- Random sampling (default)
- Case tournament selection
```clojure
:ds-function :case-tournament
```
- Case Lexicase Selection
WIP
- Downsample Rate:
```clojure
:downsample-rate 0.1
```
