Case Studies of Curve Fitting Pitfalls |
|
The case studies that I used for
this paper are actually taken from my prior work at Jandel. During my three years
there, I managed to find a lot of examples of curve fitting in action.
The main goal is to so over these three points for each case study:
1) What the pitfall is
2) How to determine if you've run into the pitfall and what steps can be taken
to remedy the situation
3) How to avoid the pitfall
