Techniques to find regression parameters for multiple datasets where a subset of parameters should be the same for all datasets

I have five sets of observations of measured y as some function of measured $x_1, x_2, x_3,\ldots$ and I want to fit five functions to these observations. They have the form $$ y = f(x_1, x_2, ...

Find data to perform regression analysis

I'm trying to find some data (two continuous variables that I believe are correlated) online for which I can perform a regression anaylsis, my assignment sheet says: The data may be found anywhere ...

Extrapolating parameters for a fit different from the one originally used for regression analysis (no longer having access to data)

Say I have some data, I assume a fit of the form: $\alpha_1 e^{\beta_1 k}$, and I extract some values $\alpha_1>0$ and $\beta_1<0$ for $k=[1,\ldots]$. Say this appears to be a "near perfect" ...

How do I use specific data points on a graph to determine an equation?

I need to find a function $f(x)$ such that the following data points would fit on it: $$f(1) = 0 \\ f(2) = 0.5 \\ f(4) = 1.0 \\ f(8) = 1.5 \\ \cdots $$ and so on. So the pattern is every time $x$ ...

Find parameters for exponential function fitting to datapoints

I have a set of datapoints, in this case the temperature of an object adjusting to the environment temperature over time. Because I know these kind of processes take the form of $$f(x)=Ae^{x/B}+C$$ I ...

how to calculate a curvature/angle of best fit line segments

I have data points from a power spectrum (fft) output that look like the image below. A characteristic of the data seems to be a heavy slope and then a flattening out. I would like to be able to ...

Curve fitting with upper and lower bounds for derivatives

I compute (at a great cost) upper and lower bounds $f_u(x)$ and $f_l(x)$ of an unknown function $f(x)$ at points $x$ in $[0,1]$. Now I am interested in an estimation of the derivative $f'(x)$. I ...

Polynomial fitting where polynomial must be monotonically increasing

Given a set of monotonically increasing data points (in 2D), I want to fit a polynomial to the data which is monotonically increasing over the domain of the data. If the highest x value is 100, I ...
