Is A Matlab Function That Computes A Least Squares Polynomial For A Given Set of Data

Polyfit and polyval are Matlab functions that can quickly fit a set of data points with a polynomial line. Linspace generates linearly spaced vectors between two points and is similar to the colon operator but allows direct control over the number of points. Fit creates a fit to data using specified models like polynomials or surfaces and options can be set through fitOptions. Residuals detect outliers and leverage observations with large influence that have smaller residuals as they shift the regression closer to them.

Curve Fitting in Matlab.

Matlab has two functions, polyfit and polyval, which canquickly and
easily fit a set of data points with a polynomial. The equation for a polynomial line is: ... Polyfit
is a Matlab function that computes a least squares polynomial for a given set of data.

The linspace function generates linearly spaced vectors. It is similar to the colon operator ":",
but gives direct control over the number of points. y = linspace(a,b) generates a row vector y of
100 points linearly spaced between a and b. y =linspace(a,b,n) generates n points

fit(x,y,fitType) creates the fit to the data in x and y with the model specified by fitType.
example
fitobject = fit([x,y],z,fitType) creates a surface fit to the data in vectors x, y, and z.
example
fitobject = fit(x,y,fitType,fitOptions) creates a fit to the data using the algorithm options
specified by the fitOptions object.

Residuals are useful for detecting outlying y values and checking the linear regression assumptions with
respect to the error term in the regression model. High-leverage observations have smaller residuals
because they often shift the regression line or surface closer to them
