Hi,
I plotted some data points that form semi-circle. But the semi-circle is not complete, i need to extrapolate until it intersects with the X-axis. I tried Analysis - Mathematics - Interpolate/extrapolate function but it did not work. I also tried polynomial fitting but I did not get the curve extended to intersect with the X-axis.
Do you have an idea how to do it?
Thank you!!

Hi,
I want to fit many datum by origin 8 with one single circle to find the radius.
I have tried the method mentioned by snowli, but I got "Fit did not converge - reason unknown".
Could anyone help about this?
the data can be download here:

Thx a lot !!

Hello,
In Origin 8, choose Tools: Fitting Function Organizer.
Click New Function button and then edit the fields to define the semi-circle function.
E.g.
Function name: semicircle
Parameter names: y0, x0, r
Function Form: Origin C (keep the default setting)
Function:
y = y0 + (r^2 - (x-x0)^2)^0.5
Click the small icon to the right of Parameter Settings box to define initial values, etc. of the parameters. //Please make sure some initial value are given.
Click Save to save the function.
Then select the Y data or plot the data and open NLFit dialog.
On Settings tab, choose the Semicircle function to fit your data.
Thanks, Snow Li

Hi,
In order to fit semi circle, which option in origin8 I have to choose for inserting the semicircle function given here. Please help me.

Hi:
Could you please start this question in a new thread? And are you sure the equation is correct?
N(t) = t - pi^2/6 - 2* (sumatory (between infinity and n=1) of (1-)^n/n^2) * exp(-n^2*t)
You'd better upload an image for the equation.
Thanks
Larry

Hello, Can somebody help me with this?
I am traing to graph the following equation in a origin plot
N(t) = t - pi^2/6 - 2* (sumatory (between infinity and n=1) of (1-)^n/n^2) * exp(-n^2*t), How can put the equation to obtain the plot?
thanks in advance

Hi,
We received your files and will send you an answer. To update others who may be interested a fitting can be done to such data by defining a semi-circle fitting function such as below:
y = y0 + (r^2 - (x-x0)^2)^0.5
And then if the spike points are masked and x0, y0, r initialized properly, the function will fit the data well. The semicircle can be extended to the right by setting custom x values for fit curve in the NLFit dialog, or by extending the X axis and asking the fit curve to span the full axis.

Hi mwm25,
Do you mean you just want to fit part of the data (the data in the semi-circle which bounded by the red rectangle in the following image)?
And want the left part of the interpolated curve to intercept with x axis? If this is not the problem, please give us more details about it. And please also send the data through
http://www.originlab.com/www/company/qform.aspx?s=1&
Best regards,
Vincent
