Method Signature

VirtualMatrix.PolynomialFit(	Variable polynomialDegree,
	Variable rSquared)

Arguments

polynomialDegree
Description:	The degree of the polynomial to fit to the data.
Valid Range:	polynomialDegree > 0

rSquared
Description:	The coefficient of determination, which measures the quality of the polynomial fit to the data. The value has a range from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating a perfect fit.
Valid Range:	rSquared ≥ 0

Return Value

Type:

Matrix of number

Returns a row matrix of the polynomial coefficients in order of highest to lowest degree. The number of columns of the matrix will be polynomialDegree + 1.

Syntax

myMatrix1 = [1,2; 3,4].PolynomialFit(myVariable1, myVariable2);
