                       Origin Ver.: 8.0 Operating System: Windows XP
  I'd like to fit parabolic like data which pass the origin  point with not built-in parabolic function (y = A + B*x + C*x^2) but user defined function of y = A * x^2.
  Hence, I made user-defined function of y = A * x^2. The detail of it is as follows.
  Parameter Settings
  InitialValues = --(V) Meanings = ? LowerBounds = --(X, OFF) UpperBounds = --(X, OFF) NamingMethod = User-Defined NumberOfSignificantDigits = 
  Enable Auto initialization: unchecked Use OriginC: unchecked
  However, it fails to give a normal fitting result.  the result is as follows.
  Model	quadratic (User)		 Equation	y = A * x^2		 Reduced Chi-Sqr	0		 Adj. R-Square	0		 		Value	Standard Error ?$OP:F=1	A	--	--
  What's wrong with it? What should I do for it?
  With best regards,

                       Why not use Allometric1 in the Power category? You can set the b parameter to fixed value of 2 then the equation becomes y=a*x^2 |

                       Thanks a lot for the answer. In spite of a good working of it, I'd like to know how I can utilize user-defined function, too. Is it not so easy? How can I use it in detail?
  Best wishes,

                       If your Function definition is indeed y = A * x^2 and your Independent Variable is x (case important if using OriginC) and your Dependent Variable is y (case important if using OriginC) and Parameter Name is A (case important if using OriginC) and you have some form of Parameter Initialization, like A=1; then your function should work. If it doesn't, send the FDF file to tech@originlab.com and they will tell you what's wrong. |
