I play with the Build-In-Fitting-Functions of my Origin Version 8.0. While the fitting analysis two Problems/questions rises.
--------------------------------------- a) First I want to realize a linear fit (data: Attenuation over SQRT(Frequency)) in two different ways: 1) Go to Analysis --> Fitting --> Fit Linear 2) Go to Analysis --> Fitting --> Nonlinear Curve Fit --> Category Polynominal --> Function Line
Two different results I get: 1) f(x) = -0.36862 - 2.21595E-4 * x 2) f(x) = -0.37441 - 2.13699E-4 * x
Result 1) is the same I get using Excel for data fitting
What is the difference of both function/both ways? --------------------------------------- b) Second, with same database I want to do a SQRT-Fit (data: Attenuation over Frequency).
2) Go to Analysis --> Fitting --> Nonlinear Curve Fit --> Category Polynominal --> Function Line --> Duplicate Function Line --> Modify Function to y = a + b * x^0.5 and fit.
Result is: f(x) = -0.36759 - 2.35614E-4 * SQRT(x)
Its totally different compared to a fit using Matlab. With Matlab I get Result 1) of a).
