Genetic Pattern Search and Its Application to Brain Image Classification

A novel global optimization method, based on the combination of genetic algorithm (GA) and generalized pattern search (PS) algorithm, is proposed to find global minimal points more effectively and rapidly. The idea lies in the facts that GA tends to be quite good at finding generally good global sol...
