1-D Fit Package Feature Summary

Toolbar Control

The 1-D Fit Toolbar opens in the target Plot Window and exposes almost all 1-d fitting commands together near the focal point of your work.

Fit Orders

Polynomials of 1 to 10 coefficients may be fit, with some orders excluded or set to specific values

Coefficient Forcing

Coefficients of selected order can be forced to specific values or excluded from the fit by setting them to 0.0. See the Set Coefs preferences page. Example.

Point Weighting

Click on a point to change its weight in the fit computation.

Point Deletion

Click on a point to delete it from the fit. Example.

Iterative Sigma Clipping

If enabled, points are removed from the fit when they are further than a specified number of sigma's from the mean fit. See the Sigma Clipping preferences page and the Example.

Selectable Series Fitting

Plot windows may contain multiple data series, but you can fit any or all of the series by selecting the series that are visible using the Plot Series Attributes window. Only series visible in overplot mode are fit. Example.

Data Windowing

Permits points inside rectangular data windows to be used in the fit. See Example.

Adjustable Drawing Preferences

Change colors, shape, etc. for deleted, weighted, and rejected points using the Drawing preferences page.

Logging of Results

In verbose mode, results are tabulated in the 1-D Fit Messages window where they may be edited, printed, or saved.
