Prediction polynomial

Coefficients of the energy-level polynomials are calculated from the theoretical values of Hg ( ) using rho = 0.866117 in isotopic equations. These polynomials are confirmed by six rotation-vibration transitions (v 3, N 2) observed between 1642 and 1869 cm" by an Infrared laser-resonance method (8). Our polynomials predict these transitions within 0.1 cm. We give the polynomial coefficients, especially higher order ones, to many more digits than are justified by their accuracy. The equations are very approximate near but, judging by Hg (1 ), this should have little effect on the thermodynamic... 

The values of T and the corresponding h can be considered as support points of a polynomial interpolation. From this perspective, the Richardson extrapolation corresponds to the polynomial prediction for h = 0. 

In this specific case, the predictive power of the polynomial (see Fig. 3.9) and the exponential function are about equal in the x-interval of interest. The peak height corresponding to an unknown sample amount would be... 

Mathematical Models. As noted previously, a mathematical model must be fitted to the predicted results shown In each factorial table generated by each scientist. Ideally, each scientist selects and fits an appropriate model based upon theoretical constraints and physical principles. In some cases, however, appropriate models are unknown to the scientists. This Is likely to occur for experiments Involving multifactor, multidisciplinary systems. When this occurs, various standard models have been used to describe the predicted results shown In the factorial tables. For example, for effects associated with lognormal distributions a multiplicative model has been found useful. As a default model, the team statistician can fit a polynomial model using standard least square techniques. Although of limited use for Interpolation or extrapolation, a polynomial model can serve to Identify certain problems Involving the relationships among the factors as Implied by the values shown In the factorial tables.

The basis for this calculation of the amount of nonlinearity is illustrated in Figure 67-1. In Figure 67-la we see a set of data showing some nonlinearity between the test results and the actual values. If a straight line and a quadratic polynomial are both fit to the data, then the difference between the predicted values from the two curves give a measure of the amount of nonlinearity. Figure 67-la shows data subject to both random error and nonlinearity, and the different ways linear and quadratic polynomials fit the data. 

Before there can be any extrapolation there must be confidence in the model or rules being used. In practice this often has to involve an element of faith because of lack of validation data, particularly where the rule is empirical. The theory or model should be no more complex than is necessary to fit the data. The accuracy of fit to, for example, a creep curve can often be made more precise by applying ever higher order polynomial expressions, but outside the range of points these functions diverge rapidly to infinity (or minus infinity) leading to predictions that are ridiculous.

Natural extracts generally contain molecules with highly different retention characteristics which cannot be separated under isocratic conditions. The application of gradient elution is a necessity for these types of natural samples. However, the optimization of gradient elution on the base of isocratic data is cumbersome and the prediction of retention in gradient elution from isocratic data is difficult. Retention in an isocratic system can be described by a polynomial function ... 

From an examination of the profiles it is clear that there are substantial differences in the magnitudes of predicted by the various models. The diffusivity estimates at the top of the boundary layer predicted by the similarity solution are excessively large. The profiles of Shir (1973) and Lamb et al. (1975) are in quite close agreement up to a height of zlH = 0.3. Above this elevation the polynomial profile is considerably smaller. 

As an alternative procedure to predict coefficients of a radial function p(x) for electric dipolar moment, one might attempt to convert the latter function from polynomial form, as in formula 91, which has unreliable properties beyond its range of validity from experimental data, into a rational function [13] that conforms to properties of electric dipolar moment as a function of intemuclear distance R towards limits of united and separate atoms. When such a rational function is constrained to yield the values of its derivatives the same as coefficients pj in a polynomial representation, that rational function becomes a Fade approximant. For CO an appropriate formula that conforms to properties described above would be... 

In a set of experiments, x is temperature expressed in degrees Celsius and is varied between 0°C and 100 C. Fitting a full second-order polynomial in one factor to the experimental data gives the fitted model y, = 10.3 + 1.4xi, + 0.0927xf, + r,. The second-order parameter estimate is much smaller than the first-order parameter estimate h,. How important is the second-order term compared to the first-order term when the temperature changes from 0°C to 1°C How important is the second-order term compared to the first-order term when temperature changes from 99°C to 100°C Should the second-order term be dropped from the model if it is necessary to predict response near the high end of the temperature domain ...
