Symbolic Regression with HeuristicLab

This tutorial covers the basic functionality for symbolic regression and for analyzing symbolic regression models in HeuristicLab.

First, we demonstrate how to load data and how to use genetic programming to produce symbolic regression models. After that, all charts and visualizations for symbolic regression models are shown and the functionality for model analysis, simplification, and tuning is explained in detail. At the end of this tutorial we show how symbolic regression models can be exported to MATLAB, LaTeX and Excel.
