abstract = "Since the mid-1990's, symbolic regression via genetic
programming (GP) has become a core component of a
multi-disciplinary approach to empirical modeling at
Dow Chemical. Herein we review the role of symbolic
regression within an integrated empirical modeling
methodology, discuss symbolic regression system design
issues, best practices and lessons learned from
industrial application, and present future directions
for research and application",
