Bivariate Polynomial Regression

This application:

• 

Allows arbitrary 3-D data to be specified (for example, a table of X, Y, Z points).

• 

Generates a bivariate polynomial with a customizable order.

• 

Fits the polynomial to the data with a least-squares fit.

• 

Plots the data against the best-fit polynomial surface.

Specify the Data Set

Below we include some sample point data in a DataTable component and associate it with the variable data.

 

Alternatively, this data could be imported from an external source using the Import command.

 

Define Model Equation

The general form of a bivariate polynomial of total degree n is given by:

f:=nj=0ni=0nai,jxiyj

n→j=0ni=0nai,jxiyj

(2.1)

For example, the general form for a bivariate quadratic is:

f2

x2y2a2,2+x2ya2,1+xy2a1,2+x2a2,0+xya1,1+y2a0,2+xa1,0+ya0,1+a0,0

(2.2)

Next, we choose the order of the bivariate polynomial which we will fit to the points. Increasing this value will refine the fit.
