Curve Fitting

 


 

Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, possibly subject to constraints.

For evaluation, usually trying to minimize the orthogonal distance to the curve (e.g., total least squares).

 

 




Here is one day's temperature data of our campus.

Please try to fit a best curve you can to estimate the temperature.

 

What is the SSE of your model?
