Ridge regression based hybrid genetic algorithms for multi-locus quantitative trait mapping.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are increasingly used in large and complex optimisation problems. Here we use GAs to optimise fitness functions related to ridge regression, which is a classical statistical procedure for dealing with a large number of features in a multivariable, linear regression setting. The algorithm avoids overfitting, gracefully handles collinearity and leads to easily interpretable results. We use...
