A Review of Data-Driven Discovery for Dynamic Systems
share
Many real-world scientific processes are governed by complex nonlinear dynamic systems that can be represented by differential equations. Recently, there has been increased interest in learning, or discovering, the forms of the equations driving these complex nonlinear dynamic system using data-driven approaches. In this paper we review the current literature on data-driven discovery for dynamic systems. We provide a categorization to the different approaches for data-driven discovery and a unified mathematical framework to show the relationship between the approaches. Importantly, we discuss the role of statistics in the data-driven discovery field, describe a possible approach by which the problem can be cast in a statistical framework, and provide avenues for future work.
