  2. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    A line will connect any two points, so a first degree polynomial equation is an exact fit through any two points with distinct x coordinates. If the order of the equation is increased to a second degree polynomial, the following results: = + +. This will exactly fit a simple curve to three points.

  3. Least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares

    The result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function Conic fitting a set of points using least-squares approximation. In regression analysis, least squares is a parameter estimation method based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals (a residual being the difference between an observed value and the fitted value provided by a model) made in the results of each ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TableCurve_2D

    Once the user has selected the best fit equation, they can output high-quality function and test programming codes or generate comprehensive reports and publication quality graphs. TableCurve 2D was originally developed by Ron Brown of AISN Software. The first version of TableCurve 2D was released in 1989. The first version was a DOS product.

  5. Line fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_fitting

    Line fitting is the process of constructing a straight line that has the best fit to a series of data points. Several methods exist, considering: Vertical distance: Simple linear regression; Resistance to outliers: Robust simple linear regression

  6. Simple linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

    Deming regression (total least squares) also finds a line that fits a set of two-dimensional sample points, but (unlike ordinary least squares, least absolute deviations, and median slope regression) it is not really an instance of simple linear regression, because it does not separate the coordinates into one dependent and one independent ...

  7. Deming regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deming_regression

    In statistics, Deming regression, named after W. Edwards Deming, is an errors-in-variables model that tries to find the line of best fit for a two-dimensional data set. It differs from the simple linear regression in that it accounts for errors in observations on both the x- and the y- axis.

  8. Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation

    Linear interpolation on a data set (red points) consists of pieces of linear interpolants (blue lines). Linear interpolation on a set of data points (x 0, y 0), (x 1, y 1), ..., (x n, y n) is defined as piecewise linear, resulting from the concatenation of linear segment interpolants between each pair of data points.

  9. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    This proof is valid only if the line is neither vertical nor horizontal, that is, we assume that neither a nor b in the equation of the line is zero. The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by ...
