AI Thread Summary
To compare generated plots of the dispersion relation of Silicon with experimental data, calculating correlation coefficients is a recommended approach. Additionally, performing a least-squares fit can help adjust parameters in the non-experimental plots for better alignment with the experimental data. Understanding the specific parameters involved in the generated plots is crucial for accurate comparisons. This method allows for a quantitative assessment of how well the plots match the experimental results. Overall, utilizing statistical techniques like correlation coefficients and least-squares fitting can enhance the analysis of the data.

I have three different plots for the dispersion relation of Silicon. How can I compare the two plots that I have generated to the plot of the experimental data? I remember that I had to do this last semester, but I don't remember what it was called.

Ok, maybe finding the correlation coefficients for each plot may be my best bet in this situation. Anyone know?
 
Are there some parameters involved in the generated (non-experimental) plots? How about doing a least-squares fit where you adjust those parameters?

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
