A Method of Fitting a General Equation to a Set of Data Values,

Abstract

The report describes a general purpose for fitting a general function to a set of data points. The function is approximated as a first-order Taylor's series expansion and the variable parameters are solved by using the least squares criteria. Included in the report is the description of a computer program which will perform the mechanics of the curve-fitting procedure. (Author)
