AI Thread Summary
To create a dataset with a specific curve and added noise, the user seeks to replicate a trend resembling a 1/x relationship. They express difficulty in efficiently generating data that matches this curve, particularly when trying to manipulate outputs from the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) in Excel. The user attempts to adjust amplitudes to create a step function but finds that this approach disrupts the fast Fourier transform (FFT). They inquire about possible methods to achieve their goal without programming, questioning whether their current approach is a dead end. The discussion highlights the challenges of data manipulation in Excel for curve fitting and noise addition.

see the follwing print out - you can imagine what the trend might be - the dataset i want to make??

how can i create that data. i mean that sort of curve twice - the second time of a lower volume with noise added. make sense?http://imageshack.us/f/703/40382180.png
sorry for some reason i can't embed.thanks! precision is unimportant atm. if i knew how to joing peaks i could do it easy...
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Looks a lot like a 1/x relationship.
 
yup. i started a new thread now in analysis section if you want to help :)Luke
 
oh i can create data approaching the trend... i don't know how to do so efficiently yet tho ha.
 
i was trying to run ifft on excel but i then want to manipulate the output [basically - everything above the median amp = 1, everything below = -1. turning into steps]... but this destroys the fft - completely. is there no way around that - i was thinking of using solver and ifft in excel together but that's impossible. so can i do so without programming, and anyway, is this just a completel dead end?
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
