abstract = "The paper attempts to bridge the gap between genetic
evolution of regression models and their use in
business and economic forecasting. With ample evidence
of their successful fitting of data from fairly complex
systems, a logical next step is to make genetic and
evolutionary methods useful and available to business
and economics researchers. A few suggestions are made;
they describe desirable output files and statistical
tests to evaluate results from evolved models which
genetic or evolutionary computer programs should
produce. These suggestions should invite better ones to
popularise use of evolutionary methodology and to
benefit scientific research",
