Organizing records to classes
<p>I'm planning to develop a genetic algorithm for a series of acceleration records in a search to find optimum match with a target.</p>

<p>At this point my data is array-like with a unique ID column, X,Y,Z component info in the second, time in the third etc...</p>

<p>That being said each record has several "attributes". Do you think it would be beneficial to create a (records) class considering the fact I will want to to do a semi-complicated process with it as a next step?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I would say yes. Basically I want to:</p>

<ol>
<li>Take the unique set of data</li>
<li>Filter it so that just a subset is considered (filter parameters can be time of recording for example)</li>
<li>Use a genetic algorithm the filtered data to match on average a target.</li>
</ol>

<p>Step 3 is irrelevant to the post, I just wanted to give the big picture in order to make my question more clear.</p>
