title: Pattern prediction using Genetic Algorithm
body: <p>I am a newbie to Genetic Algorithm. I am trying to predict the pattern of occurrences of rules. For example, I have a set of rules defined as below.</p>
  
  <p>Rule 1,
  Rule 2,
  Rule 3,
  Rule 4,
  Rule 5,
  Rule 6,</p>
  
  <p>For a given date, I could have only Rule 2, Rule 3 and Rule 6 are used. So I would represent this data as a string as stated below</p>
  
  <p>0 1 1 0 0 1</p>
  
  <p>where 1 denotes that the rule is used and 0 denotes that the rule never get used on that day.</p>
  
  <p>So I would have set of data for 5 days as below</p>
  
  <p>011001,
  100010,
  110011,
  101010,
  111100,</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to achieve here is to predict the the 6th day data. I have been reading about Genetic Algorithm and Back propagation method to achieve this. I am failed to map my problem with GA or BP due to lack of understanding about those concepts.</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction to help me to map my problem with either GA or BP. Any help is much appreciated.</p>
