Generating a Curve Fit
Use Curve Fit to find the best curve fit to match the data. Select all of the
data or a selected region of data. The curve is drawn on the graph.
To generate curve fit:
1.
Leave the graph unselected to examine all the data, or select a range
to examine a specific area.
2.
Click
Analyze > Curve Fit
.
The Model dialog box is displayed.
3.
Select the curve fit option from the drop-down list.
Curve Fit option
Calculated in the form:
Linear
y = m*x + b
Quadratic
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
Cubic
y = a*x^3 + b*x^2 + c*x + d
Quartic
y = a*x^4 + b*x^3 + c*x^2 + d*x + e
Power (ax^b)
y = a*x^b
Exponential
(ab^x)
y = a*b^x
Logarithmic
y = a + b*ln(x)
Sinusoidal
y = a*sin(b*x + c) + d
Logistic (d
0)
y = c/(1 + a*e^(-bx)) + d
Natural
Exponential
y = a*e^(-c*x)
Proportional
y = a*x
