abstract = "System identification is the scientific art of
building models from data. Good models are of essential
importance in many areas of science and industry.
Models are used to analyse, simulate, and predict
systems and their states. Model structure selection and
estimation of the model parameters with respect to a
chosen criterion of fit are essential parts of the
identification process. In this article, we investigate
the suitability of genetic programming for creating
continuous nonlinear state-space models from noisy time
series data. We introduce methodologies from the field
of chaotic time series estimation and present concepts
for integrating them into a genetic programming system.
We show that even small changes of the fitness
evaluation approach may lead to a significantly
improved performance. In combination with
multiobjective optimisation, a multiple shooting
approach is able to create powerful models from noisy
data.",
