### Least-squares fit of explicit parabolic sheet to data points

For a given set of data points $$\{(x_i, y_i, z_i)\}$$ there exists some $$f_{ABC}(x,y)=Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2$$ that minimizes $$\sum_i(f_{ABC}(x_i,y_i)-z_i)^2$$ $A$, $B$, and $C$ can be found quickly ...

### Using linear regression to find the ideal point given a set of trajectory's data

I have a set of points in 2D obtained from a pendular movement with some noise. I want to determine where is equilibrium point ($x_0$, $y_0$) from which the rope is fixed. There are at least two ...

### Good 3D surface fits for multiscale oscillatory surfaces

I have a 3D surface in $x$, $y$, and $z$. where $z$ is a function of $x$ and $y$ and my points are on a structured grid in $x$ and $y$. My function $z$ is highly oscillatory and irregular with ...

### Efficient inversion of multidimensional non linear function

I have a function $f:x\mapsto \vec{y}$ with $x \in [0,1]$ and $\vec{y}=(y_1,...,y_n) \in \mathbb{R}^n$. $n$ is a small integer e.g. $n=8$. Each of the component functions in $y_i(x)$ "oscilate" up and ...

### Spline regularization

I am fitting some B-splines to data, but the data has a "gap" region where the spline is less constrained by the data. I want to devise a regularization scheme to help prevent the spline from ...

### Minimize squared error of linear function

Let $M$ be a $m \times n$ matrix, $x$ a $n$-vector, $y$ a $m$-vector, and $\|\cdot\|_2$ represent the $L_2$ norm (i.e., Euclidean norm). Given $M,y$, the goal is to find $x$ that minimizes the ...

### Power series regression linear fit in VBA excel

I wrote a program that calculates the best fit in VBA excel for the following model $$y_k=c_1x_k+c_0+c_{-1}(x_k)^{-1}$$ solving for the best fit parameters $c_1$, $c_0$, and $c_{-1}$. However I ...
