This invention discloses a
genetic programming mutation probability optimization method based on the maximum
mutual information coefficient. In traditional
genetic programming,
feature selection tends to shift from initial completely random selection to selective selection with bias. This invention constrains the search direction of
genetic programming, thereby improving search efficiency. The method includes: Step S1, using the maximum
mutual information coefficient to measure the correlation between each feature and the target in the dataset, and merging the correlations of each feature and the target into a correlation vector; Step S2, determining the probability distribution of genetic
programming when selecting new features through
mutation based on the correlation vector; Step S3, performing genetic
programming evolution, during which the probability distribution remains fixed and is unaffected by the number of features selected within the
population. This invention reduces the
impact of random initialization on the overall performance of genetic
programming, enhances the robustness of genetic programming on fundamental problems, improves training efficiency and accuracy, and enhances model generalization performance.
