Research Abstract |
In this study, we have clarified factors to shop selection of consumers using genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithm is one kind of artificial intelligence methods and it is inspired by the evolution of a biological species. It is considered that the method can derive approximate solutions. We simulated the shopping behavior of households using micro simulation. The simulation model has the shopping consciousness parameters. Genetic algorithm is used for estimating the parameters. The result of the simulation has a high fitness to real data.
