I'm trying to find a degree-2 polynomial fit with x-intercepts of x=0
and x=1
for the below set of data:

I have tried using the Fit
function, specifying a first-degree and second-degree term, but no constant term, as it would be desirable for the y-intercept to be zero (the function passes through the origin). I have also tried using BSplineFunction
, but due to the nature of the data (which is essentially a straight horizontal line when plotted), I don't think that would very strongly resemble a degree-2 polynomial.
Fit[data, {x, x^2}, x]
? Also, when you plot the data withListPlot[data]
, it doesn't look like a quadratic dependency at all. There is basically noy
dependency. $\endgroup$ – Sjoerd Smit Jul 16 '19 at 17:20Fit[data, x (1 - x), x]
