[Retracted] Cancer Categorization Using Genetic Algorithm to Identify Biomarker Genes

Algorithm 1

The pseudo-code for the algorithm is given below.

	Begin
	Initialize the population with random solutions
	Calculate fitness value as the quality measure for each individual
	Rank the solutions based on fitness values according to the problem (either maximization or minimization)
	For j = 1 to N (generation count)
	Choose an operator randomly (crossover/mutation)
	If (crossover)
	Select any two parent solutions randomly
	Create offspring via crossover
	Else if (mutation)
	Select a parent solution randomly
	Create offspring via mutation
	End if
	Calculate the new fitness value
	Replace the worst solution in the population with this offspring
	Next j;
	Check for stopping criteria
	End
