About

Least Squares Curve Fit

This app helps users find the best-fit curves for their data points using the Least Squares method. It supports various 2D and 3D function types, reports equations, and draws graphs. Data can be saved for later use.

Highlights
  • Least Squares Linear Regression Method
  • Multiple 2D and 3D function types
  • Equation reporting
  • Graph visualization
  • Data point storage
  • Best fit analysis
  • SVD calculation option

Read full description

“Least Squares Curve Fit” is a user friendly, free of charge and free of ads app. User inputs point sets and chooses function types. Utilizing the Least Squares Linear Regression Method, the app calculates best fit curves, reports equations and draws graphs. Point sets can be stored in a table and are available after app is closed. Currently available function types are: 2D: 1. Line. 2. Parabola. 3. Polynomial up to 8th degree. 4. Circle. 5. Conic section (Ellipse or Hyperbola). 6. Trigonometric function as C + A1*cos(ω*x) + B1*sin(ω*x) + … + An*cos(n*ω*x) + Bn*sin(n*ω*x), where user can select n between 1 and 8 and enter any ω. 7. Exponential Function. 8. Bell Curve. 3D: 1. Plane. 2. Sphere. Also, there is an option to choose the Best Fit: the app goes through all the possible shapes and lists them in order from best to worst fit based on residuals. In some cases, when the standard Least Squares method with orthogonal projection does not work, best fit for Line, Parabola, Polynomial and Trigonometric functions can be calculated with SVD. Links to four other free apps by same developers are included in the app: 1. “Matrix Solver Step by Step” Linear Algebra Visual Guide. 2. “Polynomials and Linear Systems” Equation Solver. 3. “GraphMath” Graphing Calculator. 4. “Vectors and Planes” (and Spheres and Ellipsoids) 3D Geometry Guide. Developers hope to get feedback from users at graphmath@aol.com.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Least Squares Curve Fit at none against Mathfuns's 3. Least Squares Curve Fit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Mathfuns's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
