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:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.”
—Vera Brittain (1896–1970)
