Key aspects include (a) the use of a hypergeometric probability mass function as a principled statistic for assessing fitness that quantifies the probability that the observed association between a given clause and target class is due to chance, taking into account the size of the dataset, the amount of missing data, and the distribution of outcome categories, (b) tandem age-layered evolutionary algorithms for evolving parsimonious archives of conjunctive clauses, and disjunctions of these conjunctions, each of which have probabilistically significant associations with outcome classes, and (c) separate archive bins for clauses of different orders, with dynamically adjusted order-specific thresholds. The method is validated on majority-on and multiplexer benchmark problems exhibiting various combinations of heterogeneity, epistasis, overlap, noise in class associations, missing data, extraneous features, and imbalanced classes. We also validate on a more realistic synthetic genome dataset with heterogeneity, epistasis, extraneous features, and noise. In all synthetic epistatic benchmarks, we consistently recover the true causal rule sets used to generate the data. Finally, we discuss an application to a complex real-world survey dataset designed to inform possible ecohealth interventions for Chagas disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/evco_a_00252","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,28]],"date-time":"2019-02-28T20:04:16Z","timestamp":1551384256000},"page":"87-114","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Tandem Evolutionary Algorithm for Identifying Causal Rules from Complex\n          Data"],"prefix":"10.1162","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"John P.","family":"Hanley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Vermont, Burlington, 05405, USA jhanley@uvm.edu"}]},{"given":"Donna M.","family":"Rizzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Vermont, Burlington, 05405, USA drizzo@uvm.edu"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey S.","family":"Buzas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Vermont, Burlington, 05405, USA jeff.buzas@uvm.edu"}]},{"given":"Margaret J.","family":"Eppstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Vermont, Burlington, 05405, USA maggie.eppstein@uvm.edu"}]}],"member":"281","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022050416563147900_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aguilar-Ruiz, J.,\n                Riquelme,\n              J., and Toro,\n                M.
