17.4 ConclusionsA hybrid evolutionary algorithm (HEA) has been developed to discover predictive rule sets in complex ecological data. It has been designed to evolve the structure of rule sets by using genetic programming and to optimise the random parameters in the rule sets by means of a genetic algorithm.HEA was successfully applied to long-term monitoring data of the shallow, eutrophic Lake Kasumigaura (Japan) and the deep, mesotrophic Lake Soyang (Korea). The results have demonstrated that HEA is able to discover rule sets, which can forecast for 7-days-ahead seasonal abundances of blue-green algae and diatom populations in the two lakes with relatively high accuracy but are also explanatory for relationships between physical, chemical variables and the abundances of algal populations. The explanations and the sensitivity analysis for the best rule sets correspond well with theoretical hypotheses and experimental findings in previous studies.
