Working with Function Finding Tools
Mathematical Functions and Dynamic UDFs
 
GeneXproTools 4.0 offers a total of 279 built-in mathematical functions, including 186 different IF THEN ELSE rules, that can be used for designing nonlinear regression models. This wide set of mathematical functions allows the evolution of complex and rigorous models quickly built with the most appropriate functions.

The Function Selection Tool of GeneXproTools 4.0 helps you selecting different function sets very quickly through the combination of the Show options with the Random/Default/Clear/Select All buttons plus the Increase/Reduce Weight buttons in the Functions Panel. Furthermore, GeneXproTools automatically balances your function set with the number of independent variables in your data, so now you just have to select the right functions for your problem and then choose their relative proportions by adjusting their weights.

Despite the wide set of GeneXproTools built-in mathematical functions, some users sometimes want to model with different ones. GeneXproTools 4.0 gives the user the possibility of creating custom tailored functions (Dynamic UDFs or DDFs) and evolve models with them. A note of caution though: the use of DDFs slows considerably the evolutionary process and therefore should be used with moderation.

Below are listed all the 279 built-in mathematical functions available in GeneXproTools 4.0, including their representation in Karva Notation (shown in red) and their mathematical definition (for more details about their implementations, see the built-in grammars of GeneXproTools):

By selecting the Functions Tab in the Functions Panel, you have full access to the 279 built-in mathematical functions of GeneXproTools 4.0. Here is also the place where you can add Dynamic UDFs to your modeling kit.

To select a function, just check the box on the left. By default, the weight of each function is 1, but you can increase the probability of a function being included in your models by increasing its weight in the Select/Weight column. GeneXproTools automatically balances your function set with the number of independent variables in your data, so now you just have to select the right functions for your problem and then choose their relative proportions by choosing their weights.

To add a DDF to your modeling kit, just click the Add button on the Dynamic UDFs frame and the DDF Editor appears.

By choosing the arity (minimum is 1 and maximum is 4) in the Arity box, the function header appears in the code window. Then you just have to write the body of the function in the code editor. The code must be in JavaScript and can be conveniently tested for compiling errors by pressing the Test button.

In the Definition box, you can write a brief description of the function for your future reference. The text you write there will appear in the Definition column.

Dynamic UDFs are extremely powerful and interesting tools as they are treated exactly like the built-in functions of GeneXproTools and therefore can be used to model all kinds of relationships between variables or complex expressions. For instance, you can design a DDF so that it will model the sum of four expressions, that is, DDF = (expression 1) + (expression 2) + (expression 3) + (expression 4), where the value of each expression will depend on the context of the DDF in the expression tree. A note of caution, though, although extremely interesting, DDFs decrease considerably the speed of the algorithm and therefore we advise you to choose your functions from the wide set of GeneXproTools 4.0 built-in functions.
