3.7 Summary
This chapter presented an introduction to a family of algorithms inspired by an evolutionary metaphor, evolutionary algorithms. Specific EA instances were examined, namely genetic algorithms, differential evolution and genetic programming. Following two examples of how EAs can be applied for financial prediction purposes, we outlined some of the more recent developments in EC. Our presentation of evolutionary computation continues in Chap. 4 with an introduction to the grammatical evolution framework.
