What function fits my data...?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello, I am a bit unsure if this is the correct place to ask my question, but I'll try anyways:
I am doing laser triangulation, and I recorded the position of a laser point on the camera CMOS chip vs. a displacement.
I have a series of measurement points. y is the distance in mm from the camera (with an unknown offset), and x is the position of the laser point on the camera sensor (in pixels).
y=[0 5.97623500000000 11.9524700000000 17.9287050000000 23.9049400000000 29.8811750000000 35.8574100000000 41.8336450000000 47.8098800000000 53.7861150000000 59.7623500000000 65.7385850000000 71.7148200000000 77.6910550000000 83.6672900000000 89.6435250000000 95.6197600000000 101.595995000000 107.572230000000 113.548465000000 119.524700000000 125.500935000000 131.477170000000 137.453405000000 143.429640000000 149.405875000000 155.382110000000 161.358345000000 167.334580000000 173.310815000000 179.287050000000 185.263285000000 191.239520000000 197.215755000000 203.191990000000 209.168225000000 215.144460000000 221.120695000000 227.096930000000 233.073165000000 239.049400000000 245.025635000000 251.001870000000 256.978105000000 262.954340000000 268.930575000000 274.906810000000 280.883045000000 286.859280000000 292.835515000000 298.811750000000 304.787985000000 310.764220000000 316.740455000000 322.716690000000 328.692925000000 334.669160000000 340.645395000000 346.621630000000 352.597865000000 358.574100000000 364.550335000000 370.526570000000 376.502805000000 382.479040000000 388.455275000000 394.431510000000 400.407745000000 406.383980000000 412.360215000000 418.336450000000 424.312685000000 430.288920000000 436.265155000000 442.241390000000 448.217625000000 454.193860000000 460.170095000000 466.146330000000 472.122565000000 478.098800000000 484.075035000000 490.051270000000 496.027505000000 502.003740000000 507.979975000000 513.956210000000 519.932445000000 525.908680000000 531.884915000000 537.861150000000 543.837385000000 549.813620000000 555.789855000000 561.766090000000 567.742325000000 573.718560000000 579.694795000000 585.671030000000 591.647265000000 597.623500000000 603.599735000000 609.575970000000 615.552205000000 621.528440000000 627.504675000000 633.480910000000 639.457145000000 645.433380000000 651.409615000000 657.385850000000 663.362085000000 669.338320000000 675.314555000000 681.290790000000 687.267025000000 693.243260000000 699.219495000000 705.195730000000 711.171965000000 717.148200000000 723.124435000000 729.100670000000 735.076905000000 741.053140000000 747.029375000000 753.005610000000 758.981845000000 764.958080000000 770.934315000000 776.910550000000 782.886785000000 788.863020000000 794.839255000000 800.815490000000 806.791725000000 812.767960000000 818.744195000000 824.720430000000 830.696665000000 836.672900000000 842.649135000000 848.625370000000 854.601605000000 860.577840000000 866.554075000000 872.530310000000 878.506545000000 884.482780000000 890.459015000000 896.435250000000 902.411485000000 908.387720000000 914.363955000000 920.340190000000 926.316425000000 932.292660000000 938.268895000000 944.245130000000 950.221365000000 956.197600000000 962.173835000000 968.150070000000 974.126305000000 980.102540000000 986.078775000000 992.055010000000 998.031245000000 1004.00748000000 1009.98371500000 1015.95995000000 1021.93618500000 1027.91242000000 1033.88865500000 1039.86489000000 1045.84112500000 1051.81736000000 1057.79359500000 1063.76983000000 1069.74606500000 1075.72230000000 1081.69853500000 1087.67477000000 1093.65100500000 1099.62724000000 1105.60347500000 1111.57971000000 1117.55594500000 1123.53218000000 1129.50841500000 1135.48465000000 1141.46088500000 1147.43712000000 1153.41335500000 1159.38959000000 1165.36582500000 1171.34206000000 1177.31829500000 1183.29453000000 1189.27076500000 1195.24700000000];

This is the calibration measurement, I need to find a suitable function for this dataset, because later, I need to extrapolate the data. I have successfully tried smoothing splines (in Python, because I don't have the Curve fitting toolbox), and they work ok for the above dataset. But this dataset is only a simulation, the real experiment will have more noise and smoothing splines might fail.
Does anyone have a tip for me....? Thanks!

What about polyfit/polyder/polyval function set?

That gives some results, but they are worse than the smoothing spline in python. I am looking for a "physical function" that correctly explains my simulation, but I don't have a good idea :(

The follow function is much simple, but more better:
y = x/(p1+p2*x)+p3

At the moment I do not understand why this is not the equivalent of a ratio between two first degree polynomials. If I have not made a mistake (and I might have at this time of night) that formula should be equivalent to a formula (a*x + b)/(c*x + c*b/(a - 1)) but the fit is completely different.

Hi,Walter, the formual of "y = x/(p1+p2*x)+p3" is sure to be equivalent to "y=(a*x + b)/(c*x + c*b/(a - 1))":
for y=(a*x + b)/(c*x + c*b/(a - 1)), the results are:

There are an infinite number of functions that explain your data perfectly to within rounding error. It would be the infinity of the real numbers if matlab supported indefinite precision; with finite precision it is possibly only the infinity of the integers.
Because of this, the probability that any one of them is correct is 1/infinity which is 0.
It is thus not possible to find the "right" function given only the data.

A degree 5 polynomial is not horrible if you permit centering an scaling.
Linear model Poly5:
f(x) = p1*x^5 + p2*x^4 + p3*x^3 + p4*x^2 + p5*x + p6
where x is normalized by mean 2422 and std 571.2
Coefficients (with 95% confidence bounds):
p1 = 7.501 (7.015, 7.986)
p2 = 54.75 (52.38, 57.11)
p3 = 147.3 (144.5, 150)
p4 = 223.6 (220.7, 226.6)
p5 = 353.2 (350.6, 355.8)
p6 = 424.8 (423.6, 426)
Goodness of fit:
SSE: 4230
R-square: 0.9998
Adjusted R-square: 0.9998
RMSE: 4.658
However if you do not center and scale then the curve fitting routines complain that it is badly conditioned.

Thanks Walter, that looks already good, but especially for extrapolation, my feeling is that a polynomial might give surprising reults...
