How would i fit a straight line and a quadratic to the data set below using the leastsq function from scipy.optimize? I know how to use polyfit to do it. But i need to use leastsq function.
Here are the x and y data sets:
x: 1.0,2.5,3.5,4.0,1.1,1.8,2.2,3.7
y: 6.008,15.722,27.130,33.772,5.257,9.549,11.098,28.828
Can someone help me out please?
optimize. leastsq. Minimize the sum of squares of a set of equations.
The SciPy open source library provides the curve_fit() function for curve fitting via nonlinear least squares. The function takes the same input and output data as arguments, as well as the name of the mapping function to use. The mapping function must take examples of input data and some number of arguments.
The leastsq() method finds the set of parameters that minimize the error function ( difference between yExperimental and yFit). I used a tuple to pass the parameters and lambda functions for the linear and quadratic fits.
leastsq starts from a first guess ( initial Tuple of parameters) and tries to minimize the error function. At the end, if leastsq succeeds, it returns the list of parameters that best fit the data. ( I printed to see it). I hope it works best regards

# here, create lambda functions for Line, Quadratic fit

#tplInitial contains the "first guess" of the parameters
