This project reproduces Langley’s BACON system for Computational Scientific Discovery. It uses his [book](https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/4759/Scientific-DiscoveryComputational-Explorations-of) as the main inspiration to reimagine the algorithms of his methods using modern day Python.

The datasets tested on were synthetic and can be found in [datasets.py](./datasets.py). In [main.py](./main.py) the full list of methods used in the Space of Data and Space of Laws are shown and can be customised by the user. For example to run on the Ideal Gas Law with 3% noise in the dependent variable, the command is:
