abstract = "This is an evaluation of the ability of symbolic
regression to predict time series. Symbolic regression
is an application of genetic programming. Three codes
GPCPP, GPQuick, and Vienna University GP Kemel-written
in C++ were tested. Six models generated data by
linear, nonlinear, and pseudo-random processes, and the
three codes were employed to search for the six data
generating processes. The results suggest that: (1)
complexity and predictability are inversely related,
(2) the symbolic regression technique is successful in
predicting less complex processes, and (3) all three
failed to find a data generating process for
pseudo-random data.",
