Global Curve Fitting
- Perform simultaneous fitting of multiple data sets using a single fit equation
- Optionally share one or more equation parameters across all data sets
- Several data formats are available to represent your data

Dynamic Curve Fitting Wizard
- Converged - Those fitsfthat satisfied the convergence criterion
- Singular Solutions - Those convergent fitsfwhose covariance matrix is singular
- Ill-Conditioned Solutions - Those convergent fits whose covariance matrix is ill-conditioned (to machine precision)
- Evaluation Failures - Fits that failed to converge due to an evaluation error of the fit equation induced by certain (out of domain) parameter values
- Iterations Exceeding - Fits that failed to converge after the iteration limit was reached. This user specified limit is inserted into the brackets above
- Inner-Loop Failures - Fits where the Levenberg-Marquardt parameter has increased above a prescribed value when searching for a parameter direction to decrease the residual sum of squares
- Performs multiple fits of a single equation to a data set using several sets of starting parameter values randomly selected from specified ranges
- Improves the likelihood of obtaining the global minimum solution
- Parameter ranges can be user-defined or computed automatically
- Worksheet results provide several statistics and performance measures for each fit
- Creates a Dynamic Fit Profile plot that summarizes the performance of all convergent fits
- Creates a graph of the raw data with the fit curve that corresponds to the overall best-fit parameters
- Creates a report containing summary information
for all fits and detailed numeric results of the
overall [top]
