• abstract = "A feature-based fitness function is applied in a genetic programming system to synthesise stochastic gene regulatory network models whose behaviour is defined by a time course of protein expression levels. Typically, when targeting time series data, the fitness function is based on a sum-of-errors involving the values of the fluctuating signal. While this approach is successful in many instances, its performance can deteriorate in the presence of noise and/or stochastic behaviour. This paper explores a fitness measure determined from a set of statistical features characterising the time series' sequence of values, rather than the actual values themselves. Through a series of experiments involving modular gene regulatory network models based on the stochastic pi-calculus, it is shown to successfully target oscillating and non-oscillating signals. This practical and versatile fitness function offers an alternate approach, worthy of consideration for use in algorithms that evaluate noisy or stochastic behaviour.",
