Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 6.1
Operating System: Windows XP
I am trying to do a non-linear curve fitting using a User-defined function:
y = a * arcsinh(b*x) + c
but I keep getting the error message: 1) Check your expepression(s) for syntax errors. 2) Make sure you are using the Y-script or Equation form.
I am not good at Y-script at all. I've used User-defined function before, such as:
y = acos(cos(d)-a*(1+cos(d))*tanh((b*x)^c))
Do I get the inverse hyperbolic function wrong? Thanks a lot!!!

Mike and Leo:
Thank you very much for the prompt replies. It seems that Origin 7.5 is more powerful with nag functions. I was able to use Mike¡¯s idea to fit my data perfectly.
Thank again for valuable input from you guys.

Leon,
Unfortunately nag functions are not available in Origin 6.1. However, thumbing through my ancient Handbook of Mathematical Tables I found this relationship which might be useful...
arcsinh(x) = log(x + sqrt(1 + x^2))
...Before I forget where I found that, here are expressions for other inverse hyperbolic functions that are not built in to Origin.
arccosh(x) = log(x + sqrt(x^2 - 1))
arctanh(x) = (log(1 + x) - log(1 - x))/2

Hello Leon48,
It seems that origin has no build-in arcsinh(), but you can always use nag function instead. to do it:
1. check "use origin c", and your function is in the form of:
y = a * nag_arcsinh(b*x) + c;
2. click "edit in code builder" button, and in code builder, at top of the code, just below #include <origin.h>, add:
#include <OC_nag.h>
3. click "return to nlsf", now ready to go.
