Georgopoulos, Technological Educational Institute of Kalamatas, 24100, Kalamata, Greece. tel.: +302721045278 _MODELING_PROCEDURE Proposed software model developed by Tree-Based Genetic Programming introduced by John R. Koza. This machine learning paradigm uses genetic algorithm to evolve tree structures that represent computer programs. For an introduction, you may see http://www.genetic-programming.org/. Steady state approach with tournament selection preferred against the use of generations, for performance optimization. All original descriptors without any modification provided as input to the algorithm. Descriptors selected to appear in the final model by the overall evolutionary process. Four different training - validation datasets created and four different runs initiated using these sets. Solutions populations resulted by all algorithm runs unified and a run initiated using complete calibration dataset for evaluation. Best model of this run scored 0.00096 Mean Squared Error and used for prediction. _PREDICTION Obj_00001 7.554 Obj_00002 7.693 Obj_00003 8.001 Obj_00004 7.916 Obj_00005 7.768 Obj_00006 8.249 Obj_00007 8.540 Obj_00008 7.926 Obj_00009 6.503 Obj_00010 5.970 Obj_00011 7.913 Obj_00012 6.322 Obj_00013 7.551 Obj_00014 7.693 Obj_00015 7.653 Obj_00016 7.753 Obj_00017 7.938 Obj_00018 6.823 Obj_00019 7.457 Obj_00020 7.813 Obj_00021 7.276 Obj_00022 7.737 Obj_00023 7.846 Obj_00024 7.414 Obj_00025 5.196 Obj_00026 8.024 Obj_00027 7.796 Obj_00028 8.030 Obj_00029 8.325 Obj_00030 8.088 Obj_00031 7.243 Obj_00032 7.788 Obj_00033 7.712 Obj_00034 7.872 Obj_00035 7.567 Obj_00036 8.208 Obj_00037 8.213 Obj_00038 8.023 Obj_00039 7.890 Obj_00040 5.970 Obj_00041 8.056 Obj_00042 7.392 Obj_00043 7.946 Obj_00044 7.759 Obj_00045 7.837 Obj_00046 8.514 Obj_00047 6.330 Obj_00048 7.971 Obj_00049 8.079 Obj_00050 5.121 Obj_00051 8.341 Obj_00052 8.356 Obj_00053 6.904 Obj_00054 8.201 Obj_00055 7.590 Obj_00056 6.472 Obj_00057 7.912 Obj_00058 7.026 Obj_00059 7.266 Obj_00060 7.936 Obj_00061 7.859 Obj_00062 8.397 Obj_00063 8.420 Obj_00064 7.904 Obj_00065 5.426 Obj_00066 7.853 Obj_00067 7.804 Obj_00068 6.202 Obj_00069 7.422 Obj_00070 8.126 Obj_00071 8.150 Obj_00072 7.859 Obj_00073 8.327 Obj_00074 7.919 Obj_00075 7.831 Obj_00076 5.405
