Gnuplot: x squared minimization method

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on using Gnuplot to create a contour plot for parameters A and B derived from the x squared minimization method. The user seeks guidance on plotting the contour for the equation x^2 - x^2_(minimum) = 1σ = 2.3, utilizing a .dat file containing four columns: (A, B, x^2, Xx^2_(minimum)). The key challenge is to visualize the relationship between A and B while incorporating the minimum value of x^2 as a constant in the contour plot.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Gnuplot for data visualization
  • Familiarity with the x squared minimization method
  • Basic knowledge of contour plotting techniques

Hello,

I am using the x squared minimization method to compute two parametres in a function let's say (A,B) which correspondes to the minimum value of x^2. Now if i want to make a contour plot of A,B (A=x axis and B=y axis) for the values of x^2-x^2_(minimum)=1σ=2.3 what is the proper way using gnuplot?

Supose i have a table(.dat file) with 4 colums with the values of (A,B,x^2,Xx^2_(minimum)) *(X^2_(minimum) is constant)
