How can i modify the algorithms to output several answers.

I have, after much work, used GA to find optimal subsets of variables
to solve my problem. It returns one subset. It isn't even the best
one. Subsets from earlier generations had lower errors. I want to
output several subsets, and include some not from the last generation.

You may want to look at 'OutputFcns' options. You can write an output
function which will write any member of the population you like. Look at
the 'state' variable which you get as input argument in output function.
To start look at 'gaoutputfcntemplate.m'.

thank you. I'm going to look at that today. I'm ready to try writing
it.
