SinReg—a sin(bx+c)+d

SinReg

(sinusoidal regression) fits the model equation y=a sin(bx+c)+d to

the data using an iterative least-squares fit. It displays values for

a

,

b

,

c

,

and

d

. At least four data points are required. At least two data points per

cycle are required in order to avoid aliased frequency estimates.

iterations

is the maximum number of times the algorithm will iterate to find

a solution. The value for

iterations

can be an integer

1 and



16; if not

specified, the default is 3. The algorithm may find a solution before

iterations

is reached. Typically, larger values for

iterations

result in longer

execution times and better accuracy for

SinReg

, and vice versa.

A

period

guess is optional. If you do not specify

period

, the difference

between time values in

Xlistname

must be equal and the time values must

be ordered in ascending sequential order. If you specify

period

, the

algorithm may find a solution more quickly, or it may find a solution when
it would not have found one if you had omitted a value for

period

. If you

specify

period

, the differences between time values in

Xlistname

can be

unequal.

Note: The output of

SinReg

is always in radians, regardless of the

Radian/Degree

mode setting.
