Using matlab for randomly combining mathematical operators/​functions/​variables (like in symbolic regression)

Hi all,

I'm interested to know what would be the easiest way to implement an algorithm in matlab that combines specified mathematical operators/functions/variables and uses them to create a formula, e.g. operators and functions like +,-,*,/,sin,cos,tan which are combined to produce formulas based on two specified variables a,b. For example a+b/a*sin(a) or a*sin(b)-1/b asf.

Any recommendations for an easy implementation appreciated!

How are these "mathematical operators/functions/variables" defined?

Where will they come from ?

It depends on what you want to do. I would start here: Array vs. Matrix Operations
