Abstract: Genetic programming (GP) is an evolutionary algorithm that has received a lot of attention lately due to its success in solving hard world problems. There has been a lot of interest in using GP to tackle forecasting problems. Unfortunately, it is not clear whether GP can outperform traditional forecasting techniques such as auto-regressive models. In this contribution, we present a comparison between standard GP systems qand auto-regressive integrated moving average model and exponential smoothing. This comparison points out particular configurations of GP that are competitive against these forecasting techniques. In addition to this, we propose a novel technique to select a forecaster from a collection of predictions made by different GP systems. The result shows that this selection scheme is competitive with traditional forecasting techniques, and, in a number of cases it is statistically better. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
