摘要: XCS is a learning classifier system that uses genetic algorithms to evolve population of classifiers online. When applied classification problems described by continuous attributes, has demonstrated be able models - represented as set independent interval-based rules are, at least, accurate those created some the most competitive machine techniques such C4.5. Despite these successful results, analyses how different operators affect rule evolution for representation are lacking. This paper focuses on this issue and conducts systematic experimental analysis effect operators. The observations conclusions drawn from used tool designing new enable extract more than obtained original scheme. More specifically, provided with discovery component based strategies, crossover operator designed both one strategies. In all cases, behavior carefully analyzed compared ones XCS. overall enables us supply important insights into improve in real-world domains average.
