Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Hello, I have some sigmoidal curves from the amyloid formation kinetics, that I need to use this equation to find lag time, and growth rate:
y=y0+A/(1+exp(-k*(t-t0.5)))

y0=pre-transition baseline
A=amplitude of transition
k=apparent growth rate
t0.5=midpoint
tlag=t0.5-1/2k

I don't know how to write the equation in origin to fit my data. I'm using Origin 8. I'm stuck,please help.

Hi,

Please take a look at this tutorial. The tutorial will show you how to define a fitting function:

However, your Origin is too old, not sure if it works. You better upgrade to our latest version, Origin 2018b.

I do have the latest version, I meant 2018b by saying origin 8.
I did look at the guides, watched videos but I'm still confused and stuck.

How would you write this equation on origin? would you change t to x and t0.5 to x0.5? or k to x?

Hi,

Expression is okay.

For x or t, this depends on the independent variable you define. You should really take a few minutes to read that tutorial.
