Example 12 Polynomial Fit Example Using EXCEL: X y (Data) y (Fit) (Y-Mean Y) (Y-Y (Fit) )

This document discusses using Excel to perform a polynomial fit of experimental x-y data to a quadratic relationship. The data is fit using the least squares method, resulting in the regression equation y(Fit) = 2.232x^2 + 1.513x + 2.181. The goodness of fit is characterized by an index of correlation of 0.999 and a standard error of 1.026, indicating a very good fit. A plot of the data and fit visually confirms the goodness of fit.

Example 12

Polynomial fit example using EXCEL

The x y data set shown below is expected to follow a quadratic

relationship. Obtain the fit by the least squares method. Discuss the relevant

statistical parameters that characterize the fit. Make a suitable plot.

Using EXCEL “Trend Line” polynomial (quadratic) option the fit is easily

obtained as y(Fit) = 2.232x 2 + 1.513x + 2.181. The index of correlation is calculated

using the relation given previously and is shown in the table. Index of correlation

of 0.999 indicates that the fit is very good.

Plot shown below as Figure 19 indicates graphically the goodness of the

fit. Note that the fit shown uses the “Trend Line” option with “Polynomial Fit” of

EXCEL.
