  2. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Curve fitting can involve either interpolation , [ 6 ] [ 7 ] where an exact fit to the data is required, or smoothing , [ 8 ] [ 9 ] in which a "smooth ...

  3. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    Grade is usually expressed as a percentage - converted to the angle α by taking the inverse tangent of the standard mathematical slope, which is rise / run or the grade / 100. If one looks at red numbers on the chart specifying grade, one can see the quirkiness of using the grade to specify slope; the numbers go from 0 for flat, to 100% at 45 ...

  4. Double mass analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_mass_analysis

    An example of a double mass analysis is a "double mass plot", or "double mass curve". [3] For this, points and/or a joining line are plotted where the x- and y- coordinates are determined by the running totals of the values observed at two stations.

  5. Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation

    Given the two red points, the blue line is the linear interpolant between the points, and the value y at x may be found by linear interpolation.. In mathematics, linear interpolation is a method of curve fitting using linear polynomials to construct new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.

  6. Waterfall plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_plot

    FM station broadcasting at 91.7 MHz on seen on SDRpp spectrogram. Waterfall plots are often used to show how two-dimensional phenomena change over time. [1] A three-dimensional spectral waterfall plot is a plot in which multiple curves of data, typically spectra, are displayed simultaneously.

  7. Knee of a curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_of_a_curve

    The knee of a curve can be defined as a vertex of the graph. This corresponds with the graphical intuition (it is where the curvature has a maximum), but depends on the choice of scale. The term "knee" as applied to curves dates at least to the 1910s, [1] and is found more commonly by the 1940s, [2] being common enough to draw criticism.

  8. Nonlinear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_regression

    The best-fit curve is often assumed to be that which minimizes the sum of squared residuals. This is the ordinary least squares (OLS) approach. However, in cases where the dependent variable does not have constant variance, or there are some outliers, a sum of weighted squared residuals may be minimized; see weighted least squares .

  9. Hosmer–Lemeshow test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosmer–Lemeshow_test

    A.grade: the number of volunteers who achieved an A grade in the memory test (success) proportion.A: the proportion of volunteers who achieved an A grade; The researcher performs a logistic regression, where "success" is a grade of A in the memory test, and the explanatory (x) variable is dose of caffeine.
