Description:
A unified framework for symbolic regression (SR) and multi-view symbolic regression (MvSR) designed for complex, nonlinear systems, with particular applicability to ecological datasets. The package implements a four-stage workflow: data subset generation, functional form discovery, numerical parameter optimization, and multi-objective evaluation. It provides a high-level formula-style interface that abstracts and extends multiple discovery engines: genetic programming (via PySR), Reinforcement Learning with Monte Carlo Tree Search (via RSRM), and exhaustive generalized linear model search. 'leaf' extends these methods by enabling multi-view discovery, where functional structures are shared across groups while parameters are fitted locally, and by supporting the enforcement of domain-specific constraints, such as sign consistency across groups. The framework automatically handles data normalization, link functions, and back-transformation, ensuring that discovered symbolic equations remain interpretable and valid on the original data scale. Implements methods following ongoing work by the authors (2026, in preparation).
