the best fifit to a series of data points. Different with constructing a fifitting model from same type of function,
such as the polynomial model, we notice that a hybrid fifitting model with multiple types of function may have
a better fifitting result. Moreover, this also shows better interpretability. However, a perfect smooth hybrid
fifitting model depends on a reasonable combination of multiple functions and a set of effective parameters.

model construction approach. In this approach, the model is expressed by an improved tree coding expression
