how can insert my data example NIR data into genetic alogrithm tool in matlab

Hi I am using near infrared data as input to genetic algorithm without using any function . How can i use these data if I want to use genetic algorithm in optimization toolbox in MATLAB Thank you

You cannot do that with genetic algorithm.

If you were using particleswarm you could input the data as InitialSwarmMatrix. Unfortunately, though, particleswarm() will not permit you execute without providing a function to optimize.

I suspect that you do want to use a function.

If you want to operate on the NIR data in the function (such as if you were using it as data to fit against) then you would do that by Parameterizing the objective function

If you want to provide the NIR data as initial population members for some objective function, then you would need to use a custom population creation function.
