A genetic algorithm (steady state evolutionary algorithm without dupli
cation) to train neural networks for classification problems is invest
igated. The algorithm is based on direct optimization of frequencies o
f both misclassifications and number of correct classifications with s
pecial attention to the parameters known as sensibility and specificit
y. This way, it is possible to find more information about the behavio
ur of artificial neural networks on classification.
