I have a set of functions that I wish to fit to some data.
Is there a way to succinctly get Mathematica to give me
the coefficients of these functions in the fit.
For example, say I have
f1[x_] := 2 x^2
f2[x_] := 3 x^3
Normally, if I say: Fit[data, {1, f1[x], f2[x]}, x]
I get a result in the form: a1 + b1 x^2 + c1 x^3,
but I want a result of the form: a2 + b2 f1[x] + c2 f1[x].
In this case, a2 = a1, b2 = b1/2, and c2 = c1/3.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Brett Patterson
