Abstract

This article describes basic methods for equation fitting to a set of data acquired under static and dynamic environments. First, the dependency checking technique to identify a set of variables appearing in each equation is explained. Second, the principles and algorithms to discover a single equation and multiple equations are described. Finally, representative approaches to use a priori and generic knowledge to enhance the plausibility of the discovered equation formulas are mentioned.
