Let's imagine, I have some sequence with 100 integer elements in it. How can I try to deduce a function for predicting each element of sequence? Is there any basic tools/utilities for this? MATLAB?

UPD: I would like to find algorithm to generate all these 100 integers + predict more, if possible.

Lagrange interpolation will work, but probably isn't what you want. Try to think first about what exactly you want and then resubmit. – Gerry Myerson Jan 22 2011 at 22:20
Maybe try OEIS: oeis.org – Eric Naslund Jan 22 2011 at 22:28
That is the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. – Eric Naslund Jan 22 2011 at 22:28
Oh no, that sequence is not known to encyclopedias. – Dennis Yurichev Jan 22 2011 at 22:29

 The point is that there is no unique way of continuing your sequence. See mathoverflow.net/questions/4442/… – J.C. Ottem Jan 22 2011 at 22:49
