Fork of Python Neural Genetic Hybrids

This is a fork of the package below. I had some bugfixes and changes I wanted to implement to make it more useful for me.

This package can be installed with pip through github:

[sudo] pip install git+https://github.com/katerina7479/pyneurgen.git@master

See the original Readme below.

Python Neural Genetic Hybrids -- Release 0.3

This package provides the Python "pyneurgen" module, which contains several classes for implementing grammatical evolution, a form of genetic programming, and classes for neural networks. These classes enable the creation of hybrid models that can embody the strengths.

While neural networks can be adept at solving non-linear problems, some problems remain beyond reach. For example, a difficult search space can cause suboptimal solutions to be reached. Also, multiobjective problems become extremely difficult, if not impossible. With genetic algorithms, a more thorough search can be made.

This latest version has additional features added to enable the construction of recurrent neural networks easier. Recurrent neural networks are used with time series data, because the structure of the network enables a memory of past events to be included in the process.

There is an additional helper class that configures such recurrent network types as Elman Simple Recurrent Network, Jordan style recurrent networks, and NARX (Non-Linear AutoRegressive with eXogenous inputs) recurrent networks. And, there are instructions on making your own structures for your unique requirements.

How to install this package

python setup.py install
