Abstract

In order to obtain meaningful information about the
performance of the population size, a considerable number of independent runs
of the GA are performed. Accurate model parameters values are obtained in
reasonable computational time. Further increase of the population size, does
not improve the solution accuracy. Moreover, the computational time is
increased significantly.

Keywords
