Abstract:

The XCS classifier system was developed by Wilson (1995). The learning mechanism is based on the accuracy of its reward prediction. This method leads to the formation of accurate most general classifiers. This paper explains how to download, compile and use the XCS code version 1.0 written in ANSI C. It discusses how to select various parameter settings, how to add and remove certain procedures in the XCS, how to apply the XCS in the multiplexer environment and diverse woods environments, and how to add code to apply the XCS in other environments. The code provides the mechanisms introduced by Wilson (1995) and the enhancements published by Wilson (1998).
