Curve Fitting and Parameter Estimation

Back to Portal

Maple has many tools for curve fitting and parameter estimation.  Here, for example, we fit a polynomial to data.

There are tools in the CurveFitting and Statistics package for curve fitting. You can also create your own least-squares error function, and minimize it using the Optimization package.

 

The precise command and technique depends on the type of curve or model you are fitting. The table below gives a guide to the functionality, with links to worked examples.
