How can I use GA(Genetic Algorithm) with values of x1, x2, f(x1, x2)?

A function(@objective_function) is required when using most GA. For example

[Xr,fval,exitflag,output,population,scores] = ga(@objective_function, nvars, [], [], [], [], lb, ub)

when I don't know the function and only have x1, x2, f(x1,x2) values, how do you run GA?

Hi,

In scenarios where only a set of data points is available without an explicit Objective function, a common approach is to create an interpolating or approximating function that captures these data points and that function now can be used as the objective function for the Genetic Algorithm.

I hope this helps!
