TI-84 Plus CE: Fitting Points to an Ellipse
Back to one of my favorite subjects: curve fitting.
The program ELLIPFIT attempts to fit a parametric curve for
a collection of points (x, y) to an ellipse using the following equations:
x = a * cos t + b
y = c * sin t + d
where the independent variable is t. The program also plots
the estimated line and the scatter plot.
I decided to keep the correlation (r^2) separate, so we can tell how
well the line fits both the x and y data.
The program uses the range of 0 ≤ t ≤ 2*π, where t is in radians.
The user is asked to provide two lists, x and y. The list of t values is determined by the
atan2, angle, or arg function of the complex number point x + y*i. The angle is adjusted to the range of [0, 2*π].
Quadrant I: x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, angle(x + y*i)
Quadrant II: x < 0, y ≥ 0, angle(x + y*i)
Quadrant III: x < 0, y < 0, angle(x + y*i) + 2*π
Quadrant IV: x ≥ 0, y < 0, angle(x + y*i) + 2*π

Notes:
L1: list 1, [ 2nd ] [ 1 ]; L2: list 2, [ 2nd ] [ 2 ],
etc. X1T, Y1T are from the [ vars ],
Y-VARS, Parametric submenu
[square] is from [2nd] [ y= ] (stat plot) , MARK submenu,
option 1
The complex variable i = √-1 is found by pressing [ 2nd
] [ . ].
