How to determine the ranges when fitting piecewise equation?










0














I am currently giving a fitting equation in matlab for a scatter plot like this:



ScatterPlot



It seems that we'd better make it a piecewise equation



But how should I determine the ranges of those segmented funtions? Is there an api in matlab for this?

  • Don't know about matlab, but if possible I'd fit x(y) rather than y(x), on that data Otherwise you could place the split point as parameter in a least square. In this particular case, however it wouldn't help very much either---at least in y(x)---as points belonging to the middle part are left of where the first graph ends. Here an EMA may help.

  • It looks to me as if there are two different "Y" values at X = 5.5 on the scatterplot red lines. If you post a link to the data, I will run it through my zunzun.com web site's "function finder" and try to find a single equation.
