With noisy data, you will achieve better convergence results when you specify an
accurate estimate for

period

. You can obtain a

period

guess in either of two ways.

Plot the data and trace to determine the x-distance between the beginning and end
of one complete period, or cycle. The illustration above and to the right graphically
depicts a complete period, or cycle.

Plot the data and trace to determine the x-distance between the beginning and end
of N complete periods, or cycles. Then divide the total distance by N.

After your first attempt to use

SinReg

and the default value for

iterations

to fit the data, you

may find the fit to be approximately correct, but not optimal. For an optimal fit, execute

SinReg 16,Xlistname,Ylistname,2

p

/b

where

b

is the value obtained from the previous

SinReg

execution.
