NonlinearModelFit calls FindFit too.

Have you googled for tutorials? Take a look at wolfram.com/mathematica/resources and mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/18/12 The easiest way to solve your task is NonlinearModelFit. The most basic way with FindFit involves Table and Part. Please look these up. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 11:24 | comment | added | Nyxvis | Mmh honestly I don't know the "FitResiduals" property, nor the "NonlinearModelFit" command. I had no problems plotting the function as "Plot[B (1/x)^g,{x,1,10}]", but that just gave me a plot, not a list of points. I have no idea how to calculate the mean of the distance between each data point and the fit curve because I don't know how to find the coordinates of the curve. I just started using Wolfram Mathematica, I only know a bunch of commands | |

Use NonlinearModelFit and the "FitResiduals" property. Read the NonlinearModelFit documentation, including under "Details" and the examples. But I do not understand the question. You say that you used FindFit and got a result. You could plot the result. This means that you can compute its values in different points. What specific difficulty did you encounter when computing in at your original data points? In other words: show what you tried!
