Using polyfit to fit power function including the initial point x=0

11 次查看(过去 30 天)
I want to find the equation for data points that are given below
x= [ 0 0.0005 0.001 0.005 0.01 0.05 0.1];
y=[0.43 0.47 0.51 0.77 1 1.9 2.44];
Because the first x component is zero hence I could not include the first data set if I fit it as power function.
Is there a way to fit it as y=y(0) +a*x^m?
Thank you.

You can do a power fit with fminsearch:
x= [ 0 0.0005 0.001 0.005 0.01 0.05 0.1];
y=[0.43 0.47 0.51 0.77 1 1.9 2.44];
xc = linspace(min(x),max(x));
f = @(b,x) b(1).*x.^b(2);
SSE = @(b,f,x,y) sum((y-f(b,x)).^2);
B = fminsearch(@(b) SSE(b,f,x,y), [1;1]);
figure(1)
plot(x, y, 'pr')
hold on
plot(xc, f(B,xc), '-g')
hold off

I assume that you mean you want to fit
y == y0 + a * x^m
and you want to estimate values for y0, a, and m.
If you have the Statistics Toolbox, you can use the nlinfit function to do that sort of fit.

x=[0 0.0005 0.001 0.005 0.01 0.05 0.1];
y=[0.43 0.47 0.51 0.77 1 1.9 2.44];
plot(x,y,'ko')
hold on
linearFit = polyfit(x,y,1);
xfit = linspace(0,.1,100);
yfitLinear = linearFit(1)*xfit + linearFit(2);
plot(xfit,yfitLinear,'b')
secondOrderFit = polyfit(x,y,2);
yfitSecondOrder = secondOrderFit(1)*xfit.^2 + secondOrderFit(2)*xfit + secondOrderFit(3);
plot(xfit,yfitSecondOrder,'r')

You could do whatever power of fit you'd like.
