The ability of a GP to perform variable selection is assessed with regard to a binary classification of the sporulation state of bacterial strains. The analytical technique used, Curie-point pyrolysis mass spectrometry, generates data for 150 variables per sample. The GP-derived predictive rules for the~e data contain a substantially smaller subset of these variables, typically just 6-9. Inspection of these rules leads to the somewhat counter-intuitive conclusion that the best predictive models use both highly characteristic and highly non-characteristic variables.",
