Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to clarify the definition of "average curve" and whether it pertains to averaging points from the curves or the curves themselves. There is also a discussion about the effectiveness of selecting multiple points from each curve for averaging.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the original poster's intent and the methods used to calculate the average. Some guidance has been offered regarding the interpretation of the curves and the averaging process, but no consensus has been reached.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the method of averaging and the specific characteristics of the curves involved. The original poster has expressed difficulty in achieving the expected results, indicating potential misunderstandings about the averaging process.

I have 5 curves on the same xOy, how can I calculate an average curve for all 5 ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
calculating average points from 5 points does not seem to give correct result.
 
I don't understand what you mean. Do you have 5 points or 5 curves. And what do you mean by "an average curve"- average in what sense?
 
I am sorry it is 5 curves. In my second post, I thought I could pick many points on all of those curves then calculate the average but it didn't turn out correct as expected. Do you know how to draw an average curve ?
