This is a simulator for the G/SPLINES (genetic spline models) algorithm which builds spline- based functional models of experimental data, using CROSSOVER and MUTATION to evolve a POPULATION towards a better fit. It is derived from Friedman's MARS models. The original work was presented at ICGA-4, and further results including additional basis function types such as B-splines have been presented at the NIPS-91 meeting.
This program used to be available free by FTP from ftp://riacs.edu/pub/wolf-4.0.tar.Z (However this machine no longer allows anonymous ftp access, so you wont be able to get it from there any more. If anyone knows anywhere this code is freely available from, let us know. Ed.) Runs on SUN (and possibly any SYSV) UNIX box. Can be redistributed for noncommercial use. Simulator includes executable and C source code; a technical report (RIACS tech report 91.10) is also available.
