description Regression model is a well-established method in data analysis with applications in various fields. The selection of independent variables and mathematically transformed in a regression model is often a challenging problem. Recently, some scholars have used evolutionary computation to solve this problem, but the result is not effective as we desired. The crossover operation in GA is redesigned by using Latin hypercube sampling, then combining two commonly used statistical criteria (AIC, BIC) we are presenting an improved genetic algorithm based for solving statistical model selection problem. The proposed algorithm can overcome strong path-dependence and rely on experience of classical approaches. Comparison of simulation results in solving statistical model selection problem with this improved GA, traditional genetic algorithm and classical algorithm for model selection show that the new GA has superiority in solution of quality, convergence rate and other various indices.
