Abstract
A novel methodology for empirical model building using GP-generated symbolic regression in combination with statistical design of experiments as well as undesigned data is proposed. The main advantage of this methodology is the maximum data utilization when extrapolation is necessary. The methodology offers alternative non-linear models that can either linearize the response in the presence of Lack or Fit or challenge and confirm the results from the linear regression in a cost effective and time efficient fashion. The economic benefit is the reduced number of additional experiments in the presence of Lack of Fit.
