Hello, i'm fairly familiar with R and use it every now and then for math related tasks.
I have a simple non polynomial function that i would like to approximate with a polynomial. I already looked into poly, but was unable to understand what to do with it. So my problem is this. I can generate virtually any number of datapoints and would like to find the coeffs a1, a2, ... up to a given degree for a polynomial a1x^1 + a2x^2 + ... that approximates my simple function. How can i do this with R? Your help will be highly appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Polynomial-fitting-tp3652816p3652816.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
