The Basic Gene Expression Algorithm
The fundamental steps of the basic gene expression algorithm are listed below in pseudocode:
- 1. Select function set;
- 2. Select terminal set;
- 3. Load dataset for fitness evaluation;
- 4. Create chromosomes of initial population randomly;
- 5. For each program in population:
- a) Express chromosome;
- b) Execute program;
- c) Evaluate fitness;
- 6. Verify stop condition;
- 7. Select programs;
- 8. Replicate selected programs to form the next population;
- 9. Modify chromosomes using genetic operators;
- 10. Go to step 5.
The first four steps prepare all the ingredients that are needed for the iterative loop of the algorithm (steps 5 through 10). Of these preparative steps, the crucial one is the creation of the initial population, which is created randomly using the elements of the function and terminal sets.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or expression:
“Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow, and not lead the character and progress of the citizen; the strongest usurper is quickly got rid of; and they only who build on Ideas, build for eternity; and that the form of government which prevails, is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
