DataDrivenDiffEq.jl is a package for estimating equation-free and equation-based models for discrete and continuous differential equations.

As opposed to parameter identification, these methods aim to find the governing equations of motion automatically from a given set of data. They do not require a known model as input. Instead, these methods take in data and return the differential equation model which generated the data.

There are various avenues in which structural estimation can occur. However, the main branches are: do you want to know the equations in a human-understandable manner, or is it sufficient to have a function that predicts the derivative and generates the correct time series? We will refer to methods which return symbolic forms of the differential equation as structural identification, while those which return functions only for prediction as structural estimation.
