Book CURVE and SURFACE FITTING with MATLAB  LINEAR and NONLINEAR REGRESSION

Download or read book CURVE and SURFACE FITTING with MATLAB LINEAR and NONLINEAR REGRESSION written by A Ramirez and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can fit curves and surfaces to data and view plots with the Curve Fitting app in MATLAB. Is possible: .Create, plot, and compare multiple fits.Use linear or nonlinear regression, interpolation, smoothing, and custom equations..View goodness-of-fit statistics, display confidence intervals and residuals, remove outliers and assess fit with validation data..Automatically generate code to fit and plot curves and surfaces, or export fits to the workspace for further analysis.Curve Fitting app makes it easy to plot and analyze fit at the command line. You can export individual fit to the workspace for further analysis, or you can generate MATLAB code to recreate all fit and plots in your session. By generating code, you can use your interactive curve fitting session to quickly assemble code for curve and surface fit and plots into useful programs.The Curve Fitting app allows convenient, interactive use of Curve Fitting Toolbox functions, without programming. You can, however, access Curve Fitting Toolbox functions directly, and write programs that combine curve fitting functions with MATLAB functions and functions from other toolboxes. This allows you to create a curve fitting environment that is precisely suited to your needs. Models and fit in the Curve Fitting app are managed internally as curve fitting objects. Objects are manipulated through a variety of functions called methods. You can create curve fitting objects, and apply curve fitting methods, outside of the Curve Fitting app

Book CURVE and SURFACE FITTING with MATLAB  INTERPOLATION  SMOOTHING and SPLINE FITTING

Download or read book CURVE and SURFACE FITTING with MATLAB INTERPOLATION SMOOTHING and SPLINE FITTING written by A Ramirez and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Curve Fitting Toolbox software supports these nonparametric fitting methods: -"Interpolation Methods" - Estimate values that lie between known data points.-"Smoothing Splines" - Create a smooth curve through the data. You adjust the level of smoothness by varying a parameter that changes the curve from a least-squares straight-line approximation to a cubic spline interpolant.-"Lowess Smoothing" - Create a smooth surface through the data using locally weighted linear regression to smooth data.Interpolation is a process for estimating values that lie between known data points. There are several interpolation methods: - Linear: Linear interpolation. This method fit a different linear polynomial between each pair of data points for curves, or between sets of three points for surfaces.- Nearest neighbor: Nearest neighbor interpolation. This method sets the value of an interpolated point to the value of the nearest data point. Therefore, this method does not generate any new data points.- Cubic spline: Cubic spline interpolation. This method fit a different cubic polynomial between each pair of data points for curves, or between sets of three points for surfaces.After fitting data with one or more models, you should evaluate the goodness of fit A visual examination of the fitte curve displayed in Curve Fitting app should be your firs step. Beyond that, the toolbox provides these methods to assess goodness of fi for both linear and nonlinear parametric fits-"Goodness-of-Fit Statistics" -"Residual Analysis" -"Confidence and Prediction Bounds" The Curve Fitting Toolbox spline functions are a collection of tools for creating, viewing, and analyzing spline approximations of data. Splines are smooth piecewise polynomials that can be used to represent functions over large intervals, where it would be impractical to use a single approximating polynomial. The spline functionality includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides easy access to functions for creating, visualizing, and manipulating splines. The toolbox also contains functions that enable you to evaluate, plot, combine, differentiate and integrate splines. Because all toolbox functions are implemented in the open MATLAB language, you can inspect the algorithms, modify the source code, and create your own custom functions. Key spline features: -GUIs that let you create, view, and manipulate splines and manage and compare spline approximations-Functions for advanced spline operations, including differentiation integration, break/knot manipulation, and optimal knot placement-Support for piecewise polynomial form (ppform) and basis form (B-form) splines-Support for tensor-product splines and rational splines (including NURBS)- Shape-preserving: Piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation (PCHIP). This method preserves monotonicity and the shape of the data. For curves only.- Biharmonic (v4): MATLAB 4 grid data method. For surfaces only.- Thin-plate spline: Thin-plate spline interpolation. This method fit smooth surfaces that also extrapolate well. For surfaces only.If your data is noisy, you might want to fit it using a smoothing spline. Alternatively, you can use one of the smoothing methods. The smoothing spline s is constructed for the specified smoothing parameter p and the specified weights wi.

Download or read book Spline Fitting with MATLAB written by J. Braselton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can work with splines in Curve Fitting Toolbox(tm) in several ways.Using the Curve Fitting app or the fit function you can:Fit cubic spline interpolants to curves or surfacesFit smoothing splines and shape-preserving cubic spline interpolants to curves (but not surfaces)Fit thin-plate splines to surfaces (but not curves)The toolbox also contains specific splines functions to allow greater control over what you can create. For example, you can use the csapi function for cubic spline interpolation. Why would you use csapi instead of the fit function 'cubicinterp' option? You might require greater flexibility to work with splines for the following reasons:You want to combine the results with other splines, You want vector-valued splines. You can use csapi with scalars, vectors, matrices, and ND-arrays. The fit function only allows scalar-valued splines.You want other types of splines such as ppform, B-form, tensor-product, rational, and stform thin-plate splines.You want to create splines without data.You want to specify breaks, optimize knot placement, and use specialized functions for spline manipulation such as differentiation and integration.If you require specialized spline functions, see the following sections for interactive and programmatic spline fitting.
