sigma in curvefit function! [message #39349] Thu, 13 May 2004 08:33

Hello,

I was trying to use IDL curvefit function in order to obtain the
fitting parameters for a non-linear equation. This equation needs a
fixed parameter to be read from an external file, so I wrote a
program that read x,y and this parameter from a file, then it call
the curvefit function (I modified it in order to read this extra
parameter) with the corresponding function_name (where is my
equation, which uses this fixed parameter).
The problem is that I’m using the no-weighting form (because I’m
fitting one model results to another theoretical equation) and I
obtained nonsense values for the standard deviations on the fitted
coefficients (sigma). I read something about this, and I tried with
the mpcurvefit function too, but I didn't know how to read the
external fixed parameter from the mpcurvefit function (I didn’t know
modify it in this case)

Has anybody a solution? Has anybody an alternative program?
