Free Curve Fitting Software for 4 Parameter Equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Free curve fitting software options for fitting data into a 4-parameter equation, specifically the generalized logistic function, are available. While TableCurve is a popular choice, it is not free. Users can explore various free or shareware curve fitting packages through resources like CNET's download site. Additionally, the Python library SciPy, particularly the scipy.optimize module, provides a robust method for curve fitting, with ample online examples and documentation available.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 4-parameter equations, specifically the generalized logistic function
  • Familiarity with Python programming language
  • Knowledge of the SciPy library, particularly scipy.optimize
  • Basic skills in data analysis and curve fitting techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research free curve fitting software options on CNET's download site
  • Learn how to use the SciPy library for curve fitting with examples of scipy.optimize
  • Explore the CurveFit Tracer tool for converting graphical data into mathematical equations
  • Study the methodology outlined in the document on pages 42-43 for fitting the generalized logistic function
USEFUL FOR

Data scientists, researchers, and anyone involved in statistical analysis or mathematical modeling who needs to fit data to a 4-parameter equation.

Is there a software(preferably free) that can fit data into a 4 parameter equation?

like the generalised logistic function

TableCurve is great for the type of fitting you need, but it's not free... This is a good site where one can select operating system, rating etc. and look for curve fitting packages that are either free or shareware. There is a wide selection, so I am confident you will in high likelihood find what you need for free;

free? you can do it in python using the scipy module (scipy.optimize)...google "scipy curve fit", you should even find examples.
 
Good source of information will span over many many years. Recently, I wanted to obtain a curve fitting equation from the given graph image / published graph. I felt so powerless to do so. This CurveFit Tracer may be helpful to some of you.
 
Me thinks that maybe 'CurveFit Tracer' could be used to turn vacuum tube operating curves into useable mathematical equations! Has anybody tried this?
