Finding the Formula for a Curve
- by Mystagogue
Is there a program that will take "response curve" values from me, and provide a formula that approximates the response curve?
It would be cool if such a program would take a numeric "percent correct" (perhaps with a standard deviation) so that it returns simplified formulas when laxity is permissable, and more precise (viz. complex) formulas when the curve needs to be approximated closely.
My interest is to play with the response curve values and "laxity" factor, until such a tool spits out a curve-fit formula simple enough that I know it will be high performance during machine computations.
