Polynomial Interpolation in Matlab
显示 更早的评论
Hei!
Can somebody help me with polynomial Interpolation in Matlab? I have a data set for x and y as vectors and N=15 as the order of polynomial.T o compute coefficient c I do as follows:
x=data(1,:);
>> y=data(2,:);
c=polyfit(x,n,14);
My question is what coefficient c is?
regards, Sergey

my understanding is that C is arbitrary. Pick you own value.

The output of polyfit is described in the very first sentence of the documentation here. Have you read that, and not understood it?
Also, in your code, what is n? Given how you have defined x and y, I would have expected your polynomial fit to be done with
polyfit(x,y,14)
Finally, I'm curious what your application of this is. I can't think of one where the fitting of a 15th-order polynomial is a good idea.

That 14th degree polynomial fit is just a flat out bad idea. The interpolating polynomial will do obscene things BETWEEN the points, which is exactly what you want it for since you are interpolating.
Use an interpolating spline instead. Often pchip or spline will be a very good choice. So spend your time learning about them (and ppval, fnval, fnplt, etc), as well as interp1, a simple tool that incorporates both of those choices for splines. You can also find my SLM toolbox on the file exchange, which can help when you start realizing those spline tools have some issues too.

There must be a mathematical model of ethanol equilibrium available that estimates far fewer than 14 parameters from your 15 sets of data. Use that model, and fit it with one of the nonlinear parameter estimation functions (for example, nlinfit). It will give you a relatively accurate description of the process, and the estimated parameters will have physical meaning. As John has mentioned, throwing a 14-degree polynomial at it will likely confuse you more than enlighten you.

I am a co-author of a US Patent that uses curve fiitting. I think it is roughly 5th order. Patent #5706215. Related also to US Patent #5530925 In my telecom world, generally anything higher than 5 order isn't neccesary. You can play with it but it's not helpful.
