I hope following explains better my problem. I am looking for P and σ.
A solution could be to minimize the sum of absolute differences of the given volumes Vin and the calculated volume-parts under the 3D bell shape. The example below is only for three Vin, but more Vin are possible.
Please observe that only the integral limits change with every Vin.
To simplify the problem, the y-limits remain constant.
The integral x-limits are:
xin+-0.5 with xin=0, 1, 2
How can I find P and σ by using nlinfit or lsqcurvefit?
