Optimal Population Size #291

Closed LACORTEZ33 closed 1 year ago

LACORTEZ33 commented 1 year ago

For a relatively small datasets we are trying to find y=f(x) We realized the results quality are highly dependent on the number of programs (population size).
The optimal number of programs seems to be a function of number of data points and overall correlation between x and y. Any hint to define the optimal number of programs?

Thanks

Sorry but every problem is different and I cannot advise on individual datasets. There is general advice in the docs
