About

Polynomial Regression

Features
Read full description

Polynomial Regression is your calculator and, more importantly, learning tool. You will be able to: * Construct polynomials of up to 20 degrees from either real or complex roots. * Interpolate polynomials from points by Lagrange, Newton or Vandermonde methods and Quadratic or Cubic splines. * Perform Least Squares approximation by orthogonal projection, with or without QR factorization, or partial derivatives. * Learn about each of the algorithms with derivations, proofs, step by step demonstrations, and visual tools. * Have an option to enter data by either typing or tapping on XY plane, and save data sets between program runs.
