Chosing GA parameters

The following are the parameters to GA:

• The Probability of Cross over (pc)
  
• The Probability of Mutation (pm)
  
• No of generations (n)
  
• String length (l)
  

1. 0.6<=pc<=0.9.
2. 0<=pm<=0.1.
3. It depends on your processors's speed. 100 is an optimal one.
4. Increase in l increases accuracy but decreases speed. 20 is an optimal value.

The reasons for choosing these values ll be discussed in the upcoming steps.
