Non-linear Curve Fitting

by Paul Shirkey published on April 12th, 2010

Non-linear curve fit with logistic model
Modeling a dose-response system with a logistic curve is one important special case of the more general non-linear curve fitting problem. The logistic model is a fundamental non-linear model for many systems, and is widely used in the life sciences, medicine, and environmental toxicology. In a previous blog post, Ken outlined the techniques for using NMath for computing various common linear trend lines and non-linear trend lines linearizable via a simple variable substitution. This post extends that curve fitting article to the non-linear case using the logistic as the running example.

Excel Trendlines

by Ken Baldwin published on March 25th, 2010


We are sometimes asked how to reproduce the various Excel Trendline types in NMath: Linear, Logarithmic, Exponential, Power, Polynomial, and Moving Average. In this post, we show you how to compute each trendline using NMath, including printing out the form of the equation and the R2 value (coefficient of determination).

Using NMath in .NET 4.0 Applications

by Ken Baldwin published on March 17th, 2010

Version 4.0 of the .NET Framework introduced a new runtime activation policy, which enables an application to activate multiple versions of the common language runtime (CLR) in the same process. (See here for more information.)
Because of this support for side-by-side runtimes, .NET 4.0 has changed the way that it binds to older mixed-mode assemblies,…

Principal Components Regression: Part 2 – The Problem With Linear Regression

by Steve Sneller published on March 4th, 2010

Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) is a powerful approach to modeling the relationship between one or two or more explanatory variables and a response variable by fitting a linear equation to observed data. This is the second part in a three part series on PCR.
