Hi,
My names is James Ellison; and I have 2 nonlinear equations of the type:
y[1]=x+a*x[1]^2+b*x[1]^3 and y[2]=a*x[2]^3+b*x[2]^5 with the real valued parameters a and b for both equations.
I further have 2 data sets
data[1] for y[1] and
data[2] for y[2]
I can use NonlinearModelFit in order to fit each data[i] set to its function y[i] and get good fits. But the parameters a and b should be the same.
How can I create a simple code with Mathematica, so that I can do a simultaneous fit resulting in the parameters a and b to be the same.
I am a Mathematica beginner and would be pleased, if someone could answer my question for beginners.
Best regards, James
