Fit data with dependent parameters

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi,
There are two rows of data, x and y. I would like to fit y = f(x), where
f(x) = a*x^3 + b*x^2 + (2a+3b)*x,
i.e. parameters are not independent.
I tried to use the function "fittype", but it does not work (Licensing error: -101,147).
I would like to know if there is any other way to solve it.
Thank you!

Yours is a linear problem, however the easiest way to estimate the parameters is likely an unconstrained nonlinear solver, such as fminsearch:
x = ...;
y = ...;
objfcn = @(b,x) b(1).*x.^3 + b(2).*x.^2 + (2*b(1) + 3*b(2)).*x;
[B,resnorm] = fminsearch(@(b) norm(y - objfcn(b,x)), [1;1]);
xv = linspace(min(x), max(x));
figure
plot(x, y, 'pb')
hold on
plot(xv, objfcn(B,xv), '-r')
hold off
grid

Thanks a lot for your clear explanation. I am going to check it.

Hi again,
I have new questions, which probably have more to do with mathematics. But maybe Matlab can help.
Do you know if it is possible to add some constrains?
- I would like to obtain a fitted curve that intersects the points [x=0,y=0] and [x=1, y=1]. I tried to do it by applying some boundary conditions (this is why the coefficients are interdependent). However, the resulting curve does not intersect exactly the points, it just approximates them. (Actually the equation is much more complex than the posted above. It has exponential functions).
- This is more complicated: Is it possible to impose that the second derivative of the resulting curve must be positive at a certain point x (in my case at x=0)?
Thank you in advance

You could probably do it with lsqlin, but better you post this as a new question, detailing your actual model function.

Thank you Matt J. I will try it.
