abstract = "The use of correlation as a fitness function is
explored in symbolic regression tasks and its
performance is compared against a more typical RMSE
fitness function. Using correlation with an alignment
step to conclude the evolution led to significant
performance gains over RMSE as a fitness function.
Employing correlation as a fitness function led to
solutions being found in fewer generations compared to
RMSE. We also found that fewer data points were needed
in a training set to discover correct equations. The
Feynman Symbolic Regression Benchmark as well as
several other old and recent GP benchmark problems were
used to evaluate performance.",
