Dutch title: Toepassing en ontwikkeling van evolutionaire algoritmen voor de optimalisatie van voorspellingsmodellen van macro-invertebraten in rivieren Period: October 2001 till September 2005 Status: Completed
Predictive models are developed for river ecosystem management. Data from Flemish ecological and hydrological databases are used as well as data obtained from monitoring of the Zwalm and Dender River Basin. Evolutionary algorithms are linked with other modeling techniques (Artificial Neural Networks, classification trees,…) for the development of a spatio-temporal model predicting macroinvertebrates based on a limited number of environmental variables.
