Hello Group,
In the example below I want to do a fitting "exploiting" the correlation
between y1 and y2 rather than separate them like I did. Like a 2D
fitting thing.
Also, in NonlinearModelFit, I dont like treating 1/(1+b) like another
parameter.
how to do it?
best regards,
Eric
(* my model *)
b = 1;
k = 1/2;
y1[t_] = (b + Exp[-k*t])/(1 + b);
y2[t_] = (1 - Exp[-k*t])/(1 + b);
(* my measurements *)
dat1 = Table[{t, y1[t] + RandomReal[{-1, 1}]/20}, {t, 0, 10, .1}];
dat2 = Table[{t, y2[t] + RandomReal[{-1, 1}]/20}, {t, 0, 10, .1}];
Plot[{y1[t], y2[t]}, {t, 0, 10}, Epilog -> {{Red, Point[dat1]}, {Blue,
Point[dat2]}}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Blue}]
(*FITTING*)
(* results with dat1: *)
Clear[b, k];
Normal[NonlinearModelFit[dat1, (b + Exp[-k*t])/(1 + b), {b, k}, t]]
0.504916 (0.980528 + E^(-0.492309 t))
(* results with dat2: *)
Clear[b, k];
Normal[NonlinearModelFit[dat2, (1 - Exp[-k*t])/(1 + b), {b, k}, t]]
0.494348 (1 - E^(-0.524777 t))
