GA Multiple response models

“An important characteristic of the GA–VSS method is that a single model is not necessarily obtained but the result usually is a population of acceptable models; this characteristic, sometimes considered a disadvantage, provides an opportunity to make an evaluation of the relationships with the response from different points of view. A theoretical disadvantage is that the absolute best model could be not present in the final population. However, after a
careful selection of the best models, ! consensus analysis can be performed contemporarily using the selected models and estimating the response as weighted average of the responses of the single models.”
