GP-COACH learns disjunctive normal form rules (generated by means of a context-free grammar) coded as one rule per tree. The population constitutes the rule base, so it is a genetic cooperative-competitive learning approach. GP-COACH uses a token competition mechanism to maintain the diversity of the population and this obliges the rules to compete and cooperate among themselves and allows the obtaining of a compact set of fuzzy rules. The results obtained have been validated by the use of non-parametric statistical tests, showing a good performance in terms of accuracy and interpretability.}, year = {2010}, journal = {Information Sciences}, volume = {180}, number = {8}, pages = {1183-1200}, issn = {0020-0255}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020025509005635}, doi = {10.1016/j.ins.2009.12.020}, }
