Genetic algorithms in chemometrics and chemistry: a review
Abstract
The use of genetic algorithms has been growing exponentially since Holland published the first papers about them. Thanks to the extraordinary increase in calculation power, nowadays it is possible to apply them to extremely complex problems. A considerable number of papers in which genetic algorithms have been applied have been published in several scientifical journals. This review is of course far from being a complete summary of the application of genetic algorithms to chemical problems; its goal is to show the reader the main fields of application of this technique, together with providing a list of references on the subject.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
