 Hi, I need help to create a non-linear curve fitting function for the following expression:
 
 y = C + A/3*(x^2*(3-x^2/B)/(1-x^2/B))-(x-x^3)*(3-1/(x*B))/(1-1/(x*B))
 
 where C, A, and B are positive constants I would like to get.
 
 I have tried creating the function by inputting the above formula and setting x as independent variable, y dependent variable, C, A, and B as parameters greater than 0. However, the resulting fitting was not successful.
 
 Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.

                | ZY4914 | Posted - 04/10/2014 : 2:00:54 PM Fitting can be done after setting appropriate initial values for the parameter, but very time-consuming.
 
 I have deleted my reply with sample data set and curve.

 The function that I intended to use for fitting my data is an empirical expression reported by others in my filed. I am interested in exacting the constants A and B from my data.

 Is there a specific reason you wish to use that function and not a different one? Just asking since an exponential function would fit your sample data completely, there are many built in exponential functions in Origin that worked when I tried it.
