An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms
www.whitman.eduGenetic algorithms are a type of optimization algorithm, meaning they are used to nd the optimal solution(s) to a given computational problem that maximizes or minimizes a particular function. Genetic algorithms represent one branch of the eld of study called
Complex Adaptive Systems - MIT
web.mit.eduJohn Holland is the founder of the domain of genetic algorithms. Generic algorithms are parallel, computational representations of the processes of variation, recombination and selection on the basis of fitness that trigger most processes of evolution and adaptation. They have been successfully applied to

These include genetic abnormalities, abnormal lung development and accelerated aging. • COPD may be punctuated by periods of acute worsening of respiratory symptoms, called exacerbations. • In most patients, COPD is associated with significant concomitant chronic diseases, which increase its morbidity and mortality.

svn.bmj.comML algorithms can be divided into two major categories: unsupervised learning and supervised learning. Unsuper - vised learning is well known for feature extraction, while supervised learning is suitable for predictive modelling via building some relationships between the patient traits (as input) and the outcome of interest (as output).
