numerics - Non-linear curve fit problem


I am having a problem with making a fit to data in Mathematica, which may involve my understanding of the methods available.


I am trying to fit the derivative of a Frota function (which is a Single Peak curve) together with two Gaussian Amplitudes.


The raw data looks loke this: enter image description here


In theory, the Frota function can be described as:


f[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_] := 
   a*Im[E^(I*phi)*Sqrt[(I*gamma)/(V - ek + I*gamma)]] + b*V + c;


As you can see that is not a function that can be differentiated easily. First I tried to differentiated it in the following way:


df[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_] := 
  D[ComplexExpand[f[x, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c]], x] /. x -> V;
df[V, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c]

In principle that works, but the function f has to be complex expanded before taking the derivative, due to the imaginary part not having a non numeric derivative. Moreover, when I plot the function, I have to take the real part. Still I get reasonable results and can fit my data with the function:


dfP2Gauss[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_, Agauss1_, Agauss2_, 
          Gcenter1_, Gcenter2_, gGauss1_, gGauss2_] := 
  df[V, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c] + 
  (c + Agauss1*E^(-0.5 ((V - center1)/ gGauss1)^2)) + 

  (c + Agauss2*E^(-0.5 ((V + Gcenter2)/ gGauss2)^2))

where I put some the Gaussian peaks in.


enter image description here


That does not look to bad, but when I start to fit my data (which consists of around 200 points), it takes like 40 minutes to do 100 iteration. Further, it gives bad results, because it makes the Gaussian peaks almost zero, even when I give good starting parameters. I also tried to make borders for the widths of the Gaussians, but then it just stays at the lower limit. Because of the incredible long caluculation time, I can't increase the iterations to say 1000, and even if did I don't it would help much. Maybe someone can help me?


Furthermore, I tried to calculate the derivative numerically:


numericfrota[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_, y0_] := 
  ND[f[V, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c], V, y0, Terms -> 30]

The calculation of the derivative now goes four times faster, but I can't plot it together with the Gaussians.



My code would be something like this:


numericGauss[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_, y0_, Agauss1_, 
             Agauss2_, Gcenter1_, Gcenter2_, gGauss1_, gGauss2_] := 
  numericfrota[V, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c, y0] + 
  (c + Agauss1*E^(-0.5 ((V - Gcenter1)/ gGauss1)^2)) + 
  (c + Agauss2*E^(-0.5 ((V + Gcenter2)/ gGauss2)^2));

But when I try to evaluate this, I need to give to specifications, y0 and V. They need to be the same and go from -0.01 and 0.01. But Mathematica just allows me to give one range, either y0 and V. If I choose to just take V and, therefore, derive the numeric Frota in respect of V at the point V, I just get a straight line. I just don't know how to properly adjust my functions.

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
