DM41X PPC ROM Curve Fit

The PPC ROM's CV function does similar Curve Fitting to the Advantage Pac CFIT program, without the limitation on negative data point values.

Negative X values are acceptable for Linear and Exponential curves

Negative Y values are acceptable for Linear and Logarithmic

If any data point has BOTH X and Y negative then only Linear is possible.

Running CV

XEQ ALPHACVALPHA

Unlike CFIT there is no displayed menu for the top-row buttons, so you need to remember the functions.

Key A B C D E
Shift ∑- Initialize
Σ+ Solve Type J Y X Solve Best Type

Unlike normal Stats entry (where Y-value is entered first, then ENTER, then X-value is entered second, so that the X-value is in the X register before pressing ∑+) here we enter in “conventional” order.

once the data is accumulated either

or

The solution appears as

Z : r correlation coefficient Y : a coefficient X : b coefficient

You can now get estimates of Y (for a given X) or X (for a given Y)

You can accumulate more data (to add to what's already there) and do another FIT calculation.

If you want equally spaced X coordinates for single variable Y-data CV puts incrementing digit in X so you simply

ENTER Y1 Σ+

ENTER Y2 Σ+

ENTER Y3 Σ+

ENTER Y4 Σ+

and you accumulate as if you'd entered (1,Y1), (2,Y2), (3,Y3), (4,Y4)

If you have X and Y data then the automatically incrementing X is overwritten by the manually entered real X values.
