abstract = "The evolutionary approach of Genetic Programming (GP)
has been applied extensively to model various
non-linear systems. The distinct advantage of using GP
is that prior assumptions for the selection of a model
structure are not required. The GP automatically
evolves the optimal model structure and its parameters
that best describe the system characteristics. However,
the evolution of an optimal model structure is highly
dependent on the experimental designs used to sample
the problem (system) domain and capture its
characteristics. The literature reveals that very few
researchers have studied the effect of various
experimental designs on the performance of GP models
and therefore the optimum choice of an experimental
design is still unknown. This paper studies the effect
of various experimental designs on the performance of
GP models on two non-linear test functions. The
objective of the paper is to identify the most robust
(best) experimental design for effective modelling of
non-linear test functions using GP. The analysis
reveals that for the test function 1, the experimental
design that gives best performance of GP models is
response surface faced design and for test function 2,
the best experimental design is 5-level full factorial
design. Thus, the result concludes that the selection
of the robust experimental design is a crucial
preprocessing step for the effective modelling of
non-linear systems using GP.",
