I just downloaded the trial version of origin for a school project and I need to find a hyperbolic best fit line for some data. I can import the data just fine, but when I try to use the "fitting wizard" and I select the hyperbolic function, I just get a straight line. What am I doing wrong? Is there an easier way to find a hyperbolic line of best fit? Thanks a lot.
It seems that you are fitting a single branch of Hyperbolic function, if so, try the following: 1. Close Origin. 2. Open <Origin root folder>\FitFunc\HYPERBL.FDF in a text editor (e.g. Notepad). 3. Locate the line: P2=-( xatymin(x_y_curve) + xatymax(x_y_curve) )/2; and change it to P2=( xatymin(x_y_curve) + xatymax(x_y_curve) )/2; and save. 4. Start Origin again and fit your data.
If it still doesn't work, send your data to tech support by refering this post.
