GDF: A tool for function estimation through grammatical evolution

Abstract
This article introduces a tool for data fitting that is based on genetic programming and especially on the grammatical evolution technique. The user needs to input a series of points and the accompanied dimensionality n and the tool will produce via the genetic programming paradigm a function f : R ^n→ R which is an approximate solution to the symbolic regression problem. The tool is entirely written in ANSI C++ and it can be installed in any UNIX system.

Title of program: GDF
Catalogue Id: ADXC_v1_0

Nature of problem

摘要
本文介绍一款基于遗传编程（genetic programming）、尤其采用语法进化（grammatical evolution）技术的数据拟合工具。用户需输入一系列数据点及其伴随的维度n，该工具将通过遗传编程范式生成函数f: ℝⁿ→ℝ，作为符号回归问题的近似解。本工具完全采用ANSI C++编写，可在任意UNIX系统中安装。

程序名称：GDF
目录编号：ADXC_v1_0

问题属性
