genetic-programming

I did a little GP (note:very little) work in college and have been playing around with it recently. My question is in regards to the intial run settings (population size, number of generations, min/max depth of trees, min/max depth of initial trees, percentages to use for different reproduction operations, etc.). What is the normal practice for setting these parameters? What papers/sites do people use as a good guide?

Hi, I'm writing a genetic programming (GP) system (in C but that's a minor detail).

For example: I'm using a steady state population rather than… >>> More
