Expires: References: Sender: Reply-To: powell@boston.steinmetz (Powell) Followup-To: Distribution: world Organization: General Electric CRD, Schenectady, NY Keywords: Recently, I have read some interesting articles on induction and classifier systems. To better understand their capabilities and functionalities, I am looking for a free, classifier software package to experiment with. I have recently used John Grefenstette's very impressive GENESIS package for optimization and became very excited and convinced about the capabilities of genetic algorithms. I would now like to experiment with a classifier system as described by Holland with a bucket brigade or similar algorithm for credit apportionment and a genetic algorithm for rule combination. If someone can send me such a package then I can quickly evaluate the power and appropriateness of classifiers to my problem. Thanks in advance Dave Powell
