Diagnosis of SIDS using Genetic Programming

Abstract

Abstract – Genetic Programming is a relatively new technique for the automatic discovery of computer programs which offer solutions to complex problems. It is being applied to an ever increasing number of application areas with good results. This report presents a work on a classification problem. The Genetic Programming technique is used to evolve programs which are able to diagnose sudden infant death syndrome in a sample of patients. Real data on the habits and lifestyles of patients are used to train and test the system. The system makes accurate predictions and competes with an other methods of this problem.
