    This document provides instructions for a lab assignment to perform a least-squares linear fit to data. Students are asked to: 1) Develop the equations to minimize the sum of squared residuals and find the partial derivatives to solve for the linear fit parameters a and b. 2) Use the provided x and y data values to find the best fit line. 3) Plot the data and computed best fit line on the same graph using MATLAB.

    EGN 4933 Lab 3

    Due end of class, Wednesday, October 6th

    1. Develop the equations to be solved to performPa least-squares fit to a linear


    N
    function. We seek to minimize J(a, b) = i=1 (yi − a · xi − b)2 . Find
    the partial derivatives of J with respect to its arguments, and set to 0. In
    class, on Monday, we found the following equations:
    X X X
    xi · yi = a( x2i ) + b( xi )
    i i i
    X X
    yi = a( xi ) + b(N )
    i i

    2. Use the following data in your equations to find the best fit line:
    See accomanying MATLAB script.
    xi yi
    0 1.8152
    0.2222 2.9759
    0.4444 3.4456
    0.6667 4.2064
    0.8889 4.9636
    1.1111 6.0551
    1.3333 6.7068
    1.5556 7.5405
    1.7778 8.1022
    2.0000 9.0274
    3. Use MATLAB to plot the data and the line you computed together on the
    same graph. The data is posted on Blackboard as the file,

    line.dat
