Text data editor

Cut-and-paste text or edit data here

Convert commas to spaces (1,2,0,3 yields 1 2 0 3) Use comma as decimal separator (1,203 = 1.203) Remove commas from text (1,2,0,3 yields 1203)

Standard Unweighted Fitting: no weights required Weighted Fitting: each data point requires a weight

This data is provided as an example, cut and paste as needed to model your data. All lines of text that do not begin with a number are ignored. Weighted fitting requires an additional number to be used as a weight when fitting. The site does not calculate any weights, which are used as: error = weight * (predicted - actual) You must provide any weights you wish to use.

Fitting Target

Here you can select the desired fitting target.

Lowest sum of squared absolute error Lowest sum of squared orthogonal distance Lowest sum of squared relative error Lowest sum of absolute value of absolute error Lowest sum of squared log[predicted/actual] Lowest sum of absolute value of relative error Lowest peak absolute value of absolute error Lowest peak absolute value of relative error Lowest Akaike Information Criterion Lowest Bayesian Information Criterion

Data labels for graphs

Here you can enter the X, Y and Z data labels to be printed on the report graphs.

Label for first independent data (X)

Label for second independent data (Y)

Label for dependent data (Z)

Graph scaling and lin/log control

Here you can choose the scaling of the data
plots and the 3D scatterplots.
Log plots require data values greater than zero.

Animation and Graph size

Here you can choose the size of the graphs. Smaller size files load quickly,
with less resolution while large files show more resolution but load more slowly.

Scientific Notation

Here you can control scientific notation on the data plots
and the contour plots.

Polynomial selection

Select the highest order terms for the polynomial equation.

01234 Highest term for first independent data (X) 01234 Highest term for second independent data (Y)

Hold Coefficients Constant

Here you can enter values to hold coefficients constant during fitting.
Leave the entry field blank to let the coefficient fit normally.

Note that coefficient bounds are overridden by holding a coefficient constant.


z = user-selectable polynomial
z = xy / z

Estimated Initial Coefficients

Here you can enter values for initial parameter estimates.

Few users will need this section, as the site estimates initial
parameters using the Differential Evolution genetic algorithm
for both non-linear equations and non-Gaussian fitting targets.

z = user-selectable polynomial
z = xy / z

Coefficients Bounds

Here you can enter coefficient upper and lower bounds. Leave the
entry fields blank to let the coefficients fit without bounds.

Note that holding a coefficient constant overrides these bounds.


z = user-selectable polynomial
z = xy / z

Upper     Bound

Lower     Bound

3D Viewing Angles

Here you can select and rotate the 3D scatter and surface plots.
