Reported by: lkammere Owned by: lkammere
Priority: medium Milestone:
Component: Algorithms.DataAnalysis Version: branch
Keywords: Cc:

Description

As a first step in deterministic symbolic regression, implement an algorithm that iterates and checks all possible sentences of a grammar in order to find the best model structure for (very simple) regression problems.
