Modeling a binary yes/no output

http://blog.eureqa.com/2010/06/modeling-binary-yesno-output.html Binary classification attempts to predict a variable that has only two possible outcomes - for example, true or false, or buy or don't buy. This post describes how Eureqa can be used to model a boolean decision or classification value. Binary classification is also one of the most widely studied problems in machine learning, and there are many optimized approaches for prediction (e.g. neureal nets, support vector machine, etc). Using Eureqa for classification (or symbolic regression in general) has a few advantages: finding models requires less data models can extrapolate extremely well resulting models are simple to analyze, refit, and reuse the structure of the models gives insight into the classification problem The last point is the most important in my opinion - not only can you predict but you can also learn something about how the classification works, as in the example below.
SecTools.Org: Top 125 Network Security Tools For more than a decade, the Nmap Project has been cataloguing the network security community's favorite tools. In 2011 this site became much more dynamic, offering ratings, reviews, searching, sorting, and a new tool suggestion form . This site allows open source and commercial tools on any platform, except those tools that we maintain (such as the Nmap Security Scanner , Ncat network connector , and Nping packet manipulator ). We're very impressed by the collective smarts of the security community and we highly recommend reading the whole list and investigating any tools you are unfamiliar with.

Eureqa | Cornell Computational Synthesis Laboratory

http://creativemachines.cornell.edu/eureqa Eur eq a (pronounced "eureka") is a software tool for detecting equations and hidden mathematical relationships in your data. Its goal is to identify the simplest mathematical formulas which could describe the underlying mechanisms that produced the data. Eureqa is free to download and use.
