For reporting purposes, these extra statistics can be handy. However, if the nonlinear model had provided a much better fit, we’d want to go with it even without those statistics. Learn whyyou can’t obtain P values for the variables in a nonlinear model. This issue is something that will probably take a bit of research on your part. What I write above is really the extent of my knowledge. I’m sure there are also a variety of subject specific variations on this issue as well.

Like the first quadratic model we fit, the semi-log model provides a biased fit to the data points. Additionally, the S and R-squared values are very similar to that model. The model with the quadratic reciprocal term continues to provide the best fit.

Curve Fitting with Nonlinear Regression

Related post: Using Log-Log Plots to Determine Whether Size Matters Curve Fitting with Nonlinear Regression I don't understand what you are trying to do, but popt is basically the extimated value of a. In your case it is the value of the slope of a linear function which starts from 0 (without intercept value): f(x) = a*x

You’re absolutely correct that the biased and unbiased models can have similar R-squared and S values because those statistics don’t evaluate bias. You can have high values of R-squared (or, equivalently, low values of S) and still have a biased model. And you can have low R-squared (high S) with unbiased models. So, those statistics don’t relate to bias. Best fit" redirects here. For placing ("fitting") variable-sized objects in storage, see Fragmentation (computing). Fitting of a noisy curve by an asymmetrical peak model, with an iterative process ( Gauss–Newton algorithm with variable damping factor α). Other types of curves, such as conic sections (circular, elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic arcs) or trigonometric functions (such as sine and cosine), may also be used, in certain cases. For example, trajectories of objects under the influence of gravity follow a parabolic path, when air resistance is ignored. Hence, matching trajectory data points to a parabolic curve would make sense. Tides follow sinusoidal patterns, hence tidal data points should be matched to a sine wave, or the sum of two sine waves of different periods, if the effects of the Moon and Sun are both considered.This is a fairly complicated problem that affects some subject areas more than others. Unfortunately, I don’t have any first-hand knowledge of dealing it, which limits how much I can help. Any time you are specifying a model, you need to let subject-area knowledge and theory guide you. Additionally, some study areas might have standard practices and functions for modeling the data. The nonlinear model provides an excellent, unbiased fit to the data. Let’s compare models and determine which one fits our curve the best. Comparing the Curve-Fitting Effectiveness of the Different Models For our data, the increases in Output flatten out as the Input increases. There appears to be an asymptote near 20. Let’s try curve fitting with a reciprocal term. In the data set, I created a column for 1/Input (InvInput). I fit a model with a linear reciprocal term (top) and another with a quadratic reciprocal term (bottom). When your dependent variable descends to a floor or ascends to a ceiling (i.e., approaches an asymptote), you can try curve fitting using a reciprocal of an independent variable (1/X). Use a reciprocal term when the effect of an independent variable decreases as its value increases.
