Cāndida Ferreira thoroughly describes the basic ideas of gene
expression programming (GEP) and numerous modifications to this
powerful new algorithm. This monograph provides all the implementation
details of GEP so that anyone with elementary programming
skills will be able to implement it themselves. The book also includes a
self-contained introduction to this new exciting field of computational
intelligence, including several new algorithms for decision tree
induction, data mining, classifier systems, function finding, polynomial
induction, times series prediction, evolution of linking functions,
automatically defined functions, parameter optimization, logic
synthesis, combinatorial optimization, and complete neural network
induction. The book also discusses some important and controversial
evolutionary topics that might be refreshing to both evolutionary
computer scientists and biologists.
This second edition has been
substantially revised and extended with five new chapters, including
a new chapter describing two new algorithms for inducing decision
trees with nominal and numeric/mixed attributes.
