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:
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.”
—Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)
