I'm developing a genetic algorithm software to solve water leak problem in an underground pipe. What kind of methodologies and algorithms to use? Is there any references or sample programs I can refer to?
All evolutionary models and algorithms are based on statistical patterns and mathematical optimization that displays result of the dataset for a particular problem domain. It thus, shows you the probability of the feats of interest within such a dataset. Know what you are looking for as you "solve" in your dataset, for whatever simulation you run via GA gives the desired result for regression. Just like Joachim said, know how the data is collected and what feats you seek in the data. I would stop here for now until you provide more explanations...because leaks as they were are simply relative and based on probability...
