GMString

 

GMStrings are enigmatic entities that encapsulate descriptions of function approximators. Function approximators lie at the heart of EYE. For instance BlackBox hunts for the function approximator that most accurately models the data, and when it ceases running GMString will be set to a representation of the best function approximator it has found.

The following is an example of a GMString:

       L24:SN:93--9

In this section we describe how to interpret GMStrings. This description is not for the faint-hearted. If you prefer, you can skip this section, and rely on the Edit and Inspect functions to give you a more digestible explanation of any GMStrings that you encounter.
