I'll try a spline fitting. I've already made some linear interpolations (see Robert Kern answer) which works well enough to use it. I'm working on a genetic algorithms application to the model parameters optimalization problem and this RMSe comparison serves me as 'fitness function'. This 'fitness function' is important element in whole procedure, so I'm trying to found the best solution to obtain it. > I suppose you could also fit a curve through the experimental points > and compare the two curves in some way. > Well, I can do it, indeed. But every single fitting procedure implicate some additional error, so when it comes to fit, I must use it very cautiously. The simulated data-points fitting should be the only acceptable fitting procedure, I guess. > If you want to avoid using an a priori model, Numerical Recipes > discuss some possible approaches ("Do two-dimensional distributions > differ?" at http://www.nrbook.com/a/bookcpdf.html is one) but it's not > clear how to turn the problem you describe into a solvable one - some > assumption about how the models vary between sampled x values appears > to be necessary, and that amounts to interpolation. > I'll look to this NR discussion.
