Returns the power fit of a data set using a specific fitting method.
Array of dependent values. The length of y must be greater than or equal to the number of unknown parameters.
Independent values. x must be the same size as y.
Weights for the observations.
weight must be the same size as y. The elements in weight cannot be 0. If an element in weight is less than 0, this node uses the absolute value of the element. If you do not wire an input to weight, this node sets all elements in weight to 1.
Value that determines when to stop the iterative adjustment of the amplitude, power, and offset.
If tolerance is less than or equal to 0, this node sets tolerance to 0.0001.
How tolerance Affects the Outputs with Different Fitting Methods
For the Least Square and Least Absolute Residual methods, if the relative difference between residue in two successive iterations is less than tolerance, this node returns the resulting residue. For the Bisquare method, if any relative difference between amplitude, power, and offset in two successive iterations is less than tolerance, this node returns the resulting amplitude, power, and offset.
Default: 0.0001
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
The upper and lower constraints for the amplitude, power, and offset. If you know the exact value of certain parameters, you can set the lower and upper bounds of those parameters equal to the known values.
Lower bound for the amplitude.
Default: -Infinity, which means no lower bound is imposed on the amplitude.
Upper bound for the amplitude.
Default: Infinity, which means no upper bound is imposed on the amplitude.
Lower bound for the power.
Default: -Infinity, which means no lower bound is imposed on the power.
Upper bound for the power.
Default: Infinity, which means no upper bound is imposed on the power.
Lower bound for the offset.
Default: 0
Upper bound for the offset.
Default: 0

Weighted mean error of the fitted model.
If method is Least Absolute Residual, residue is the weighted mean absolute error. Otherwise, residue is the weighted mean square error.
