Fit a polynomial function matlab answers matlab central. Fit custom linear legendre polynomials in curve fitting app. However, all the legendre polynomials look like your curve. After you obtain the polynomial for the fit line using polyfit, you can use polyval to evaluate the polynomial at other points that might not have been included in the original data compute the values of the polyfit estimate over a finer domain and plot the estimate over the real data values for comparison. Include an annotation of the equation for the fit line. Orthogonal polynomials in matlab purdue computer science. Discrete time filters, laguerre processes, legendre processes, polynomial approximation, smooth ing methods.
This matlab function returns the coefficients for a polynomial px of degree n that is a best fit in a leastsquares sense for the data in y. To find the coefficients, multiply both sides by p n x and integrate over x. In matlab fit polynomial to data, forcing yintercept to. Because these numbers are not symbolic objects, chebyshevt returns floatingpoint results. The fitting process follows gausslegendre quadrature method 23. I am really confused now, i have no idea what is going on. From the collection, a scannedin computerrelated document. In problems with many points, increasing the degree of the polynomial fit using polyfit does not always result in a better fit.
