Genetic algorithms and curve fitting [message #34521]

Hi,

Over the past few years I have been writing IDL programs to analyze
data by fitting to models using standard least-squares methods. The
problems that we face here, however, sometimes are not amenable to the
least-squares approach and, having multi-modal chi-squared surfaces,
could benefit from a more robust global optimization. I have been
working on a hybrid genetic algorithm/least squares function that
appears to work "pretty well" for model fitting.

Has anyone on this newsgroup you used GAs or GA hybrids for data
fitting? I am seeking someone with whom I can "compare notes" and
discuss what works well and what does not. I am happy to share this
code with anyone (especially if you're interested in helping me
improve it!)

Many thanks in advance!

Rob
