I'm having a bad time dealing with the NonlinearModelFit
in Mathematica 8, since the result given is a bit imprecise. An example is given on potential regression, as follows:
data = {{0.9, 1.1}, {2, 2}, {6, 4.1}, {6.9, 4.5}, {9.9, 5.5},
{10.7, 5.9}, {14, 6.7}, {15.9, 7.3}}
NonlinearModelFit[data, b*t^a, {a, b}, t]
The result I get is: 1.34232*t^0.615024
, however it should be 1.23...*t^0.6548
.
What am I doing wrong? I experience the same thing when I try to do a exponential regression (like this: NonlinearModelFit[data, b*a^t, {a, b}, t]
).
Thanks in advance.
