Dear all,
Please please someone help me urgently.
I want to use genetic algorithm on a weather dataset that has values for actual_observed weather variable and forecasts made by 4 different ways for that weather variable. Though the dataset contains thousands of rows but as a sample please provide me help for 10 rows of data.
This is stored in a matrix of 10rows X 5columns. Rows corresponds to temperature at 10 places forecasted by 4 different forecasting methods and last column is for the observed actual temperature at those 10 places.
Using ga, I need to know which one of these 4 forecasts are closest to the actual observed forecast. For this purpose, I am calculating error as(actual_observed – forecast)/ actual_observed. So, the result of this error, I am storing in another matrix of 10rows X 4 columns. The fitness function should search the column that has minimum error value. Please advise urgently, how to apply GA on such data.
Alternatively, I have tried calculate error and store in excel. Now I have written following fitness function. But I am getting error
??? In an assignment A(:) = B, the number of elements in A and Bmust be the same.Error in ==> ga at 188 state.Score(thisPopulation) = score;function y = singlefitfun(xvector)x1error=xvector(1:10);x2error=xvector(11:20);x3error=xvector(21:30);x4error=xvector(31:40);y=zeros(80,1);for i = 1:10 y(i) = (x1error(i) + x2error(i) + x3error(i) + x4error(i))/4;end
