“…GEP is a system of transcoding the language of chromosomes which consists of the random combination of terminals and functions to the language of the expression trees as nonlinear entities with various shape and sizes. The genes are specified as sub‐expression trees (Hoseinian, Faradonbeh, Abdollahzadeh, Rezai, & Soltani‐Mohammadi, ; Kaboli, Fallahpour, Selvaraj, & Rahim, ; Mirabbasi, Kisi, Sanikhani, & Gajbhiye Meshram, ). The GEP algorithm has been used by some researchers in various sciences; such as estimation of the porosity effect on predicting compressive and flexural strength (Emamian & Eskandari‐Naddaf, ), prediction of energy and exergy analysis (Şencan Şahin, Kovacı, & Dikmen, ), estimation of soil temperature in a semiarid region (Behmanesh & Mehdizadeh, ), estimation of daily global solar radiation (Sharifi, Rezaverdinejad, & Nourani, ).…”
