After an increasing interest in learning classifier systems and the XCS classifier system in particular, this paper locates and analyzes the distinct evolutionary pressures in XCS. Combining several of the pressures, an equation is derived that validates the generalization hypothesis which was stated by Wilson (1995). A detailed experimental study of the equation exhibits its applicability in predicting the change in specificity in XCS as well as reveals several other specificity influences.
