}This paper proposes a modified Genetic Programming method for forecasting the mobile telecommunications subscribers’ population. The method constitutes an expansion of the hybrid Genetic Programming (hGP) method improved by the introduction of diffusion models for technological forecasting purposes in the initial population, such as the Logistic, Gompertz, and Bass, as well as the Bi-Logistic and LogInLog. In addition, the aforementioned functions and models expand the function set of hGP. The…

Collective Intelligence of Genetic Programming for Macroeconomic Forecasting
- Economics, Computer ScienceICCCI
- 2011
A collective approach to the problem of developing forecasts for macroeconomic indicators is presented and it is proposed to use a collective intelligence to develop not only one forecasting model, but a set of models, from which the most suitable one can be chosen automatically or manually by the decision-maker.
