Posted - 11/03/2010 : 3:39:36 PM I want to plot a exponential function: y=yo.e-at
I canīt find this function in Origin and I donīt know how to type it.
Thank you

Posted - 11/08/2010 : 2:27:37 PM Hi Cristina,
In your earlier posts you said you wanted the function Y=Yo*exp(-a*x)
The closest built-in function is Exp2PMod1 in Exponential category: y=a*exp(b*x) so here the "a" would be your "Yo" and the "b" would be your "-a".
When I fit with this function it works fine on your data. Of course if you expect the a parameter to be of a particular value such as 0.67, you can try fixing that parameter, or setting a bound around the desired value. If you do not fix or specify bounds, the fitter will simply try find the best mathematical value for the optimal fit, and that value may not make physical sense to you, so if you know what the value should be, you should fix or specify some bounds.
Also note that you can easily define a new fitting function with the exact parameter names etc, so that is another option. Look at tutorials on how to create a new fitting function.
In the latest version 8.5, we have added a Fitting Function Builder tool, which is a wizard that walks you thru the process of creating a new fitting function. You can download the 8.5 demo and try this feature.

Posted - 11/08/2010 : 08:41:34 AM I tried to do as you suggested. See the images. My a=2.00 (a=1/t, where t=0.49995) and the correct answer ist approx. 0.67.
Thank you for your help. Cristina |

Posted - 11/08/2010 : 08:35:03 AM Dear Helper, I did what you suggested. See the images. I got a t=0.4995, so my a=2.00 And I want to obtain as the image results excel. I choose a exponential tendence line, and the correct value for the biodegradation coefficent ist approx. -0.67. How can I solve that? Thank you for our help. Cristina |

Posted - 11/04/2010 : 1:46:36 PM It is just the matter of name. For example, you can use this,
- ExpDec1 y = A1*exp(-x/t1) + y0
yo can be fixed at 0. Once you get A1 and t1. You know A1 is your Yo and t1 =1/a. Is that right?

Posted - 11/04/2010 : 07:24:06 AM I found another functions that are similar, but not exactly waht I want. Y=Yo*exp(-a*x)
Exp1p2 y = exp(-A*x) Exp1P3 y = A*exp(-A*x)

Posted - 11/04/2010 : 07:16:02 AM Thank you for your reply, but I couldnīt find my function. Y=Yo*exp(-a*x) Im my case, Y ist the concentration and x ist the time. a is the biodegradation coefficient.
I selected non-linear curve fit and didnīt see saw I need. - ExpAssoc y = y0 + A1*(1 - exp(-x/t1)) + A2*(1 - exp(-x/t2))
- ExpDec1 y = A1*exp(-x/t1) + y0
- ExpDec2 y = A1*exp(-x/t1) + A2*exp(-x/t2) + y0
- ExpDec3 y = A1*exp(-x/t1) + A2*exp(-x/t2) + A3*exp(-x/t3) + y0
ExpGrow1 y = y0 + A1*exp((x-x0)/t1)
ExpGrow2 y = y0 + A1*exp((x-x0)/t1) + A2*exp((x-x0)/t2)

Posted - 11/03/2010 : 4:35:29 PM I think this function is installed in the origin. go to analysis, then select non-linear curve fit, Once you see the "select function" button, you will see many choices.
Your equation is in the class of expotential.
Good luck
