Genetic Algorithm Results


To assess the capabilities of a genetic algorithm similar to  one used by Lynch and Houghton (2015), we generated a 2400ms spike train  derived from a DSTRF HR-neuron model with known parameters (table X). For the r(t) parameter, we convolved gaussian random  noise with a filter h(t) presented  below of size 50ms, where τ = 5.

h(t) = t/(τ^2)*exp(-t/τ)

We then created populations of size 50, with each individual  having 7 parameters associated with HR-neuron parameters a, b, c, d, r, x0 and  s. A single parameter (sc) is  associated with a scaling constant for the r(t) parameter and 50 parameter  estimates for h(t) for each t. Each population of parameter estimates  was evolved 10 times , with fit(I) being spike distance measured by SPIKy, for the HR-neuron parameters before switching to evolving  filter estimates for 10 times. This back and forth process was repeated 10  times. We ran this same algorithm 10 times in total and took the median values  as our estimates for the DSTRF neuron model.
