TI 84 Plus CE: Cauchy Fit Regression

TI 84 Plus CE: Cauchy Fit Regression

Note, in this blog capital and lower case letter variables are not assumed to be the same,  hence A ≠ a, B ≠ b, C ≠ c.

Derivation

General Equation:

Y = 1 / (A * (x + B)^2 + C)

We can set the equation in a general quadratic equation format by:

Y = 1 / (A * (x + B)^2 + C)
1/Y = A * (x + B)^2 + C
1/Y = A * (x^2 + 2*B*x + B^2) + C
1/Y = A*x^2 + 2*A*B*x + A*B^2 + C
1/Y = A*x^2 + 2*A*B*x + [A*B^2 + C]

Let:
y = 1/Y
a = A
b = 2*A*B
c = A*B^2 + C

Then:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

This form can be used when using a graphing or scientific calculator to calculate quadratic regression. 

We can solve for A, B, C:

A = a

b = 2*A*B
B = b / (2*A)

c = A*B^2 + C
C = c - A*B^2

To find a Cauchy regression fit:

1.  Enter the x data.
2.  Enter the y data but take the reciprocal of each y data point. 
3.  Run the Quadratic Regression:  y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
4.  Solve for the Cauchy regression to get the coefficients:

A = a
B = b / (2*A)
C = c - A*B^2

Notes:

1.  The variables a, b, and c are from the VARS, Statistics, EQ menu.

2.  x data is stored in L1, 1/y data is stored in L2, and y data is stored in L3.  To call lists L1, L2, and L3, press [ 2nd ] [ 1 ], [ 2nd ] [ 2 ], and [ 2nd ] [ 3 ], respectively. 

3.  The use of Output should allow this code to be programmed on earlier TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus calculators. 

Example

X = { 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 , 3}
Y = { 0.0774, 0.0577, 0.0442, 0.0347, 0.0278}

Results:

A = 1.823972632
B = 1.157397925
C = 4.437539736

y ≈ 1 / ( 1.823972632 * (x + 1.157397925)^2 + 4.437539736 )
