Constraining Polyfit with known coefficients
Show older comments
Hi. I am performing a 5th order polynomial fit to some data X,Y and use the following syntax
p5=polyfit(x,y,5)
f5=polyval(p5,x);
This performs the best fit and gives me coefficient of all the x's.
How can I restrain this as I know for sure that x^2 & x^4 = 0 (so their coefficients can be set to zero) and the coefficient infront of X is 26. I then want to perform the fit, but only allow the routine to adjust X^5, & X^3 coefficients.
Thanks Jason
