Least Squares Plot - Maple Help

Least Squares Plot

 Description This template generates a Least Squares Plot. If a fitting function is entered, it must have at least one free parameter.



Least Squares Plot

Data Entry

Data can be entered in one of the following formats:

 • List of lists (either 2-D or 3-D)
 • Two lists of coordinates (for 2-D)
 • Three lists of coordinates (for 3-D)

Fitting Function

 • If the fitting function is linear (line in 2-D or plane in 3-D), a function need not be entered.

 • If a formula for a curve or surface (linear in the unknown parameters) is optionally entered, variables must be explicitly declared, below.

Variables

 • The default line will use the variables $\left[x,y\right]$.
 • The default plane will use the variables $\left[x,y,z\right].$
 • Optionally, these defaults can be overridden.
 • If a fitting function has been given explicitly, variables must be declared as a sequence or list.
