David, I can not understand your apologies. In fact I have never felt offended by your comments, on the contrary, I found it very useful as always. In fact, when I send some question to the mathgroup I often have a solution but I know that a few mathgroup members will find another one much better than mine, and you are one of them. Thanks Guillermo -----Mensaje original----- De: David Park [mailto:djmp at earthlink.net] Enviado el: sábado, 21 de junio de 2003 14:32 Para: MathGroup; guillerm at usal.es Asunto: RE: [mg42131] RE: [mg42096] Find a dood function for fitting data Guillermo and MathGroup, I didn't mean to be dismissive with my comment but was only trying to point out that this was not so much a Mathematica question as one of trying to find the correct law for some phenomenon. Certainly, Guillermo is a valued contributor to MathGroup and my apologies if any offense was taken. David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: David Park [mailto:djmp at earthlink.net] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Guillermo, What do you mean by a good fit? If the data are supposed to follow a definite law, and they don't, then there is simply a lot of error in the data. If you are trying to find a law that the data should fit, then it is up to you to fish around for a form that gives a good fit, perhaps using information about the process you are dealing with. Did Max Planck write to something like MathGroup complaining about the poor fit to the black body spectrum data?
