To define your own fit

Fit type

Meaning (Continued)

 

 

Logistic

Fits the data to a logistic curve:

 

L

 

y = --------------------------

 

1 + ae(–bx)

 

where L is the saturation value

 

for growth. You can store a

 

positive real value in L, or—if

 

L=0—let L be computed

 

automatically.

Quadratic

Fits the data to a quadratic

 

curve: y = ax2+bx+c. Needs at

 

least three points.

Cubic

Fits the data to a cubic

 

polynomial:

 

y = ax3 + b2x + cx + d

Quartic

Fits to a quartic polynomial,

 

y = ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e

Trigonometric

Fits the data to a trigonometric

 

curve: y = a ⋅ sin (bx + c) + d .

 

Needs at least three points.

User Defined

Define your own fit (see below).

1.PressYto display the Symbolic view.

2.For the analysis you are interested in (S1 through S5), select the Type field.

3.Tap the field again to see a menu of fit types.

4.Select User Defined from the menu.

5.Select the corresponding Fitn field.

6.Enter an expression and press E. The independent variable must be X, and the expression must not contain any unknown variables. Example:

1.5⋅ cos (x) + 0.3 ⋅ sin (x) . Note that in this app, variables must be entered in uppercase.
