摘要
This paper describes a new method for creating polynomial regression models. The new method is compared with stepwise regression and symbolic regression using three example problems. The first example is a polynomial equation. The two examples that follow are real-world problems, approximating the Colebrook-White equation and rainfall-runoff modelling. The three example problems illustrate the advantages of the new method. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
