pyoperon

pyoperon is the python bindings library of Operon, a modern C++ framework for symbolic regression developed by Heal-Research at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria.

A scikit-learn regressor is also available:

from pyoperon.sklearn import SymbolicRegressor

The example folder contains sample code for using either the Python bindings directly or the pyoperon.sklearn module.

Installation

New releases are published on github and on PyPI.

Most of the time pip install pyoperon should be enough.
