James, The following paper exactly talks about what you're asking. Just like TDR in the time domain, one can use the S11-parameter to extract the equivalent circuit model of a discontinuity in the frequency domain. Any optimization technique can be used but the genetic algorithm was chosen for its non-gradient based algorithm that prevents it from getting stuck to local minima in some cases.
