9:00 - 11:00 a.m.: Curve Fitting with MATLAB for Scientists and Non-Programmers

Researchers often need to fit an equation or model to experimental data. This can be difficult since many curve fitting tools require the user to have advanced mathematical or programming experience. Also, it's common for researchers to perform repeat fittings with multiple data sets which can be time consuming.

In this seminar, you will learn how to perform curve/surface fitting with MATLAB in a manner suitable for those with little to no programming experience. You will also see how to automate your entire model fitting workflow including:

• Importing data


• Visualizing the data


• Fitting a built-in or customized equation to your data


• Creating an HTML report of all of your steps
