Show HN: An easy-to-use online curve fitting tool

https://byx2000.github.io/curve-fit/
27•byx•1w ago
This is a powerful online curve fitting tool that supports fitting dozens of commonly used functions and implicit functions. It features a clean interface and simple operation. If you need to perform curve fitting but don't want to learn professional software like Matlab or Origin, you can try this tool.

It'd be nice if there was some demo data because I might want to play with it to see how it works, but don't have any data to use it on.
okramcivokram•5h ago
I've now tried it by adding a bunch of random points and I find it very cool! It can make curves fit very snugly. Maybe enhance it by a mode that runs all the models and shows you which one has the least errors/best fit.

The fit diagnostics at the top of the plot are inadequate. This needs at a minimum error estimates on the estimated parameters (probably bootstrap) and ideally some kind of "error envelope" on the plot.

I don’t think you can do anything sensible here without making much stronger modelling assumptions. A vanilla non-parametric bootstrap is only valid under a very specific generative story: IID sampling from a population. Many (most?) curve-fitting problems won't satisfy that.

For example, suppose you measure the decay of a radioactive source at fixed times t = 0,1,2,... and fit y = A e^{-kt}. The only randomness is small measurement error with, say, SD = 0.5. The bootstrap sees the huge spread in the y-values that comes from the deterministic decay curve itself, not from noise. It interprets that structural variation as sampling variability and you end up with absurdly wide bootstrap confidence intervals that have nothing to do with the actual uncertainty in the experiment.

abdullahkhalids•51m ago
What methods can you use the estimate the standard error in this case?
cb321•24m ago
These are all big topics, but any "parametric curve fitting" like this tool uses is parameter estimation (the parameters of the various curves). That already makes strong modeling assumptions (usually including IID, Gaussian noise, etc.,) to get the parameter estimates in the first place. I agree it would be even better to have ways to input measurement errors (in both x- & y- !) per your example and have non-bootstrap options (I only said "probably"), residual diagnostics, etc.

Maybe a residuals plot and IID tests of residuals (i.e. tests of some of the strong assumptions!) would be a better next step for the author than error estimates, but I stand by my original feedback. Right now even the simplest case of a straight line fit is reported with only exact slope & intercept (well, not exact, but to an almost surely meaningless 16 decimals!), though I guess he thought to truncate the goodness of fit measures at ~4 digits.

Very nice. I will use this at school to quickly produce fits. File import does not seem to work though...

Would be very nice if I could copy-paste data straight from a spreadsheet software.
