With this article I conclude the series dedicated to the application of genetic algorithms to the design of neural networks. I will explain the most relevant code of the sample application given with these articles, mainly the classes dedicated to the genes management and the selection process. You can find more information in the previous articles of the series.

In this second article on the application of evolutionary algorithms to the optimization of the design of neural networks, I am going to provide a small sample application that allows you to build and train networks, in addition to using this type of algorithms to find the best configuration for a given data set. The application allows generating artificial test data, and I provide the source code for you to be able to modify it, as you want.

When we try to apply a neural network to a given problem, finding the most suitable topology for it can be a tedious trial and error task, as well as end up producing a poorly optimized network. To automate this process, we can draw on evolutionary algorithms, inspired in the natural selection of living organisms, which can greatly facilitate our job.

Usually, when you perform a data analysis, you suppose that they come from a normal distribution. In fact, you perform a battery of tests to verify that this assumption is met and, otherwise, you try to modify the data so that it is satisfied. This is because most analysis techniques only work properly on normally distributed data. But there are a number of systems that present a complex dynamics where is not valid to apply this hypothesis and wherein adjusting the data only leads to distortions that invalidate the results.
