Jay,
What I meant was the following; y = a*x1^2 b*x1*x2. But in fact it does not
matter as I need a general method.
Kind regards, Darius Blaszijk

Hello,
I have the following data;
y x1 x2
12 1 10
23 2 20
34 3 30
45 4 40
56 5 50
And I would like to fit the following formula to this dataset; "x1^2 +
x2 *
x1 = y"
Can anybody give me a pointer on how to do this, preferebly without
having
to linearize the dataset first? The "algorithm" proposed should however
be
able to fit any formula / model to the dataset, eg be general about
this.
Kind regards, Darius Blaszijk
You seem to be missing something. You can't fit the formula as you wrote
it.
What coefficients are you trying to determine? Do you really mean you
are
trying to find "a" and "b" that best fit the equation y = a*x1^2 b*x1*x2,
or y= a*x1*(x1 + b*x2) or y= x1*(a*x1+b*x2), or something else?
