Prime-Time: Symbolic Regression Takes Its Place in the Real World

In this chapter we review a number of real-world applications where symbolic regression was used recently and with great success. Industrial scale symbolic regression armed with the power to select right variables and variable combinations, build robust trustable predictions and guide experimentation has undoubtedly earned its place in industrial process optimization, business forecasting, product design and now complex systems modeling and policy making.
