“…Because of its advantages, GP has successfully been used for engineering problems with good results such as: industrial process modeling and control [ Marenbach et al , 1997; McKay et al , 1997; Willis et al , 1997; Hong , 2001; Hong and Bhamidimarri , 2003; Hong , 2003], robot control [ Banzhaf et al , 1997], environmental modeling [ Babovic and Abbott , 1997; Whigham and Craper , 2001; Hong and Rosen , 2002], medical application [ Gray et al , 1996], and application for financial systems [ Oussaidene et al , 1996]. Koza [1992] and Babovic and Abbott [1997] compare the derivation of an optimal model using GP with a known model and synthetic data; GP derived a model that was similar to the known model.…”
