SinReg—a sin(bx+c)+d
SinReg
(sinusoidal regression) fits the model equation y=a sin(bx+c)+d to
the data using an iterative least-squares fit. It displays values for
a
,
b
,
c
,
and
d
. At least four data points are required. At least two data points per
cycle are required in order to avoid aliased frequency estimates.

iterations
is the maximum number of times the algorithm will iterate to find
a solution. The value for
iterations
can be an integer
‚
1 and
16; if not
specified, the default is 3. The algorithm may find a solution before
iterations
is reached. Typically, larger values for
iterations
result in longer
execution times and better accuracy for
SinReg
, and vice versa.
A
period
guess is optional. If you do not specify
period
, the difference
between time values in
Xlistname
must be equal and the time values must
be ordered in ascending sequential order. If you specify
period
, the
algorithm may find a solution more quickly, or it may find a solution when
it would not have found one if you had omitted a value for
period
. If you
specify
period
, the differences between time values in
Xlistname
can be
unequal.
Note: The output of
SinReg
is always in radians, regardless of the
Radian/Degree
mode setting.
