Exponential regression
Description
"Exponential regression" takes the input signal and fits an exponential
function
to it where t is the variable along the x-axis.
The function is based on the function Linear regression, with the y-axis scaled logarithmically.
Return parameters of "Exponential regression" are:
- the amplitude a and
- the exponent b of the exponential fitting function.
Besides a and b, the corresponding uncertainties sigma a and sigma b and the linear correlation coefficient r appear in the message window. This coefficent is given by
where the overline denotes mean values.
Values of r near 0 indicate poor fitting, whereas good fitting is indicated by values of r near +1 or -1, depending on whether the exponent b of the fitting function is positive or negative.
