abstract = {Detecting and characterising genetic predictors of
human disease susceptibility is an important goal in
human genetics. New chip-based technologies are
available that facilitate the measurement of thousands
of DNA sequence variations across the human genome.
Biologically-inspired stochastic search algorithms are
expected to play an important role in the analysis of
these high-dimensional datasets. We simulated datasets
with up to 6000 attributes using two different genetic
models and statistically compared the performance of
grammatical evolution, grammatical swarm, and random
search for building symbolic discriminant functions. We
found no statistical difference among search algorithms
within this specific domain.},
