Dear Perl Monks,

I have always been wanting to make a program capable of processing seemingly random input and make a formula that explains all the input.

I read this article today which made me remember this, it is about how stock market graphs correspond to completely irrelevant data, how one formula synchronizes with the S&P500 of 1883-1992. The formula is below since it does not come out correct in google translate

25*1016-.26*1013y+.12*1010y2-320000.y3+56.y4-.0064y5+.49*10-6y6-.24*10
+-10y7+.69*10-15y8-.88*10-20y9

Do you know anything about a perl module or any kind of way to create a formula through a program based on either randomized or non randomized input? A formula that corresponds with all that is put in? I really appreciate your input on this matter:)
