We approach the difficult task of analyzing the complex behavior of even the simplest learning classifier system (LCS) by isolating one crucial subfunction in the LCS learning algorithm: covering through niching. The LCS must maintain a population of diverse rules that together solve a problem (e.g., classify examples). To maintain a diverse population while applying the GAs selection operator, the LCS must incorporate some kind of niching mechanism. The natural way to accomplish niching in an… CONTINUE READING
