Dear Manas Sharma,
thanks a lot for the code reported above, was really useful for me.
I’m writing you because I would ask if you have some code for the double exponential fitting.
Just to be clear, a code that fit the series of data [x,y] with the follow model:
y(x)=a*exp(b*x) + c*exp(d*x)
To perform that fitting in Matlab is realy easy using the function “fit(X,Y,’exp2′)”, but is really difficult to find that code in C++
I will appreciate very much your help
Thanks a lot
Marco
Hi Marco,
Well, I haven’t tried it yet.
But sure I could do some research and write a code for that.
I am pretty busy at the moment, so it may take me a 2-3 days for that.
Feel free to ask anything you want to know.
I am happy to help.
Thanks!
Hi Manas,
thanks a lot for your support!
Best Regards
Marco
Hi Manas,
Thanks for the clear explanation on Exponential Fitting code.
Do you have any 2nd order exponential fitting program?
This is very useful to me
Thanks!
Hi there,
Thanks for your comment.
I am not really sure what you mean by 2nd order exponential fitting program.
Could you please explain it to me.
Also you can maybe check out some books on Numerical Methods to learn how to go about finding the equation for the fit using the Least Square Approximation.
Hi Manas,
2nd order exponential fitting is similar to Marco’s question
“ust to be clear, a code that fit the series of data [x,y] with the follow model:
y(x)=a*exp(b*x) + c*exp(d*x)”
Thank you for your help
Best Regards
Why don’t I see the entire code? Can you please update it 🙂
Thanks for letting me know about the problem. I have fixed it now. Does it work for you now?
Also I would like to recommend a better written version for C here: https://www.bragitoff.com/2018/06/exponential-fitting-c-program/
Hi Manas,
your fit was very useful for me.
Do you have a version with a constant in the exponential fit, like y = a * exp(b*x) + c?
Best Regards
