prediction using genetic algorithm

I have a dataset having 5 input and 1 output. I want to develop a model using genetic algorithm for the available data set. So, that this model can be used for prediction. Please guide me through this

Answer 1

[Kshitij Chhabra]

MATLAB supports the use of Genetic Algorithm as a part of it's Global Optimization Toolbox.

You can check documentation and it will help you get started.

Answer 2

[Alan Weiss]

Perhaps you are looking at fitting a parameterized model to data using the genetic algorithm. You can follow the Nonlinear Data-Fitting example, using ga instead of fminunc as the minimizer. But you would almost certainly be better off using lsqcurvefit or lsqnonlin for this type of fitting.

Good luck,
