Curve fitting linear

The situation is similar for a linear curve fit, except that now the data set is two-dimensional and the number of degrees of freedom is reduced to (n — 2). The analogs of the one-dimensional variance )/( 1) the standard...

The rate constant for the alkyl bromide reaction is equal to the slope of the line. The best way to determine a slope is by doing a linear curve fit using a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. Somewhat less accurately, any two points on the line determine the slope ... 

The parameters are easily determined by using computer software. In Microsoft Excel, the data are put into columns A and B and the graph is created as for a linear curve fit. This time, though, when adding the trendline, choose the polynomial icon and use 2 (which gives powers up to and including x ). The result is... 

The best-fitting set of parameters can be found by minimization of the objective function (Section 13.2.8.2). This can be performed only by iterative procedures. For this purpose several minimization algorithms can be applied, for example, Simplex, Gauss-Newton, and the Marquardt methods. It is not the aim of this chapter to deal with non-linear curve-fitting extensively. For further reference, excellent papers and books are available [18]. 

By providing the computer with starting estimates of the values and the data for [M]totai, [L]totai, and pH at each titration point, a non-linear curve fitting procedure—such as the method of Newton-Raphson—results in the minimization of the least squares function R, which is the sum of the squares of the difference between the experimental amount of alkali titrated and the calculated amount for each experimental point. 

Figure 20.1 Distribution volume of Evans blue-labeled albumin in a rat fibrosarcoma as a function of (A) perfusion pressure or (B) perfusion rate. The ratio of distribution volume (Fd)/infused volume ( ] ) was quantified at the infusion pressures of 36, 50, 94, and 163 in cmH20, respectively. Symbols represent data from individual experiments N= 2 for pressure of 36 cmH20 and N=5 for other pressures. The line in (B) was obtained through linear curve-fitting of the data.

IC50 values are determined from the non-linear curve fitting of concentration-effect relationships. IC50 is defined as the concentration of test drug for half maximal inhibition of aggregation. 

From the parameter estimation, C can easily be determined (note, however, that this value has an uncertainty due to linear curve fitting). Then, substituting the concentrations (aMel and c s) into Equation 2.24, the selectivity coefficients can be determined. The selectivity coefficients determined this way can be plotted as a function of the surface equivalent fraction of any ions (e.g., hydrogen ion). Similarly, the selectivity coefficients can directly be calculated from the experimental data, and the values can also be determined as a function of the surface equivalent fraction of the ions. Thus, two selectivity functions can be obtained (Figure 2.7).

Two nonlinear functions that often occur in process analysis are the exponential function, y = ae - [ory = a exp (bx)], where e 2.7182818, and the power law, y = ax. Before we describe how the parameters of these functions may be determined by linear curve-fitting, let us review some algebra. 

Fitting the data directly to either Equation 5.14 or Equation 5.15 eliminates bias in the data imposed by reciprocal linear curve fitting. Figure 5.21 shows the use of nonlinear curve fitting to measure the affinity of the a-adrenoceptor agonist oxymetazoline in rat anococcygeus muscle after alkylation of a portion of the receptors with phenoxybenzamine. This data shows how all three curves can be used for a better estimate of the affinity with nonlinear curve fitting, a technique not possible with the double reciprocal plot approach where only two dose-response curves can be used. The use of three curves increases the power of the analysis...

Before the widespread availability of non-linear curve-fitting software, the individual parameters and fccat were separated by means of a Lineweaver-Burk plot, in which 1/v was plotted against 1/[S]. The plot should be a straight line with a y intercept of x intercept of—l/K, ...

First, however, we note that, although Tyworth and Ruiz-Torres (2000) utilize a non-linear curve-fitting process to build the rate fimction, we will consider a computationally simpler linear regression approach. Since we wish to build an expression of the form... 

A linear curve fitting for E° versus T data points results in the following relationship E° = -0.0003T + 1.1966, where E° is in unif V and T in degree Celsius (°C). So, the thermodynamic voltage E° decreases for about 0.3 mV for every degree Celsius increase in temperature. 

Total dissolved inorganic carbon can also be evaluated from the potentiometric titration method described in Section 8.4.1, if it is performed in a closed cell. However, this technique does not give the highest precision possible and thus the coulometiic method first described by Johnson et al. (1985) and outlined here is nowadays the method of choice. Nevertheless, Ct can be evaluated from the potentiomettic titration curve, either Gran function linearization (Section 8.4.2.3 Gran evaliiation ) or by a curve fitting procedure (Section 8.4.2.3 Non-linear curve-fitting ).
