Eureqa @ Cornell Computational Synthesis Laboratory

[Tom Johnson]

Anyone played with this?


Eureqa is an open source tool for detecting equations and hidden mathematical relationships in your data. Its primary goal is to identify the simplest mathematical formulas which could describe the underlying mechanisms that produced the data. (via pigor on delicious)

Haven't played with it, but looking at the website it appears to be a user-friendly GP system. That's a good idea.

One issue is whether you can even rationalize a non-linear or
discontinuous answer, should one fit your data perfectly and predict new
data accurately...

What symbolic regression adds over ordinary [linear] regression is the
ability to *find* programs (equations if you like) that involve software
constructs that aren't analytically tractable.   Loops, recursive
functions, complicated conditionals, etc.

(I haven't used Eureqa per se, but I have implemented genetic
programming algorithms.)
