Hi, Scipy.optimize.leastsq finds a least square fit to an arbitrary function. Check the scipy cookbook example: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/FittingData Regards, Bartosz On 20.09.2010, at 22:36, Chris Spencer wrote: > Hi, > > Does Matplotlib/Numpy/Scipy contain the ability to fit a sigmoid

Thank you. I'll try investigating Scipy further. I've already tried applying some least-squares code for Numpy (http://pingswept.org/2009/01/24/least-squares-polynomial-fitting-in-python/) to my sigmoid data, but it only seems to fit parabolas. I had already encountered zunzun.com while Googling t
