In the context of the modeling of dynamical systems, statistical analysis and data-based modeling is a hihgly promising method. We use symbolic regression, in particular genetic programming and nonparamtric regression to find effective models for the prediction of el Nino events. The data used consist of a novel method to form a network from the correlations of grid points in the El Nino basin. We compare our results with existing methods. Depending on the method used a predictive power of up to 100% is achieved, i.e. all events are correctly predicted.
