Hello, I have some x/y-values and want to describe a geometric best-fit-circle in it. The curve looks nearly like a quarter circle.
I found lots of possibilities to make a linear fit (or NLFit). But i could not find any option to describe a best-fit-circle.
Is it anyhow possible to it? Or is it not possible with Origin?
Is it possible by writing a new function? If yes, please give me a hint.
Regards

Thanks a lot for helping me.
I successfully implemented the function.

If it is just one quarter of a circle: (x-xc)^2+(y-yc)^2=r^2, please try defining the following fitting function: y-yc= +/-sqrt(r^2-(x-xc)^2), where yc, xc, r are parameters. The sign +/- can be chosed according to your data, i.e: + for upper circle, - for lower circle. xc,yc can be set to zero or none if reasonable.
In case it is more like an ellipse: (x-xc)^2/a^2+(y-yc)^2/b^2=1, please try defining the following fitting function:
y-yc = +/-b*sqrt(1-(x-xc)^2/a^2). The sign can be chosed similarly.
Hope this helps
