RCGAToolbox

A real-coded genetic algorithm software for parameter estimation of kinetic models. RCGAToolbox is a MATLAB toolbox that contains two real-coded genetic algorithms (RCGAs): the unimodal normal distribution crossover with minimal generation gap (UNDX/MGG) and the real-coded ensemble crossover star with just generation gap (REXstar/JGG). The stochastic ranking method is implemented to efficiently handle constrained optimization problems. RCGAToolbox not only provides access to RCGAs but also several useful features for parameter estimation in systems biology. For demonstrations, run scripts in RCGAToolbox/doc/demo. For usage, type "help function_name" in the MATLAB Command Window.
