We compare our results to results obtained with neural networks and argue that genetic programming is able to show similar performances in classification and generalization even when using a relatively small number of generations. Finally, an eficient algorithm for the elimination of introns in linear genetic programs is presented.enUniversität DortmundReihe Computational Intelligence ; 43004report
