% lsqfityw.m by: Edward T Peltzer, MBARI % revised: 2007 Apr 28. % % M-file to calculate a "MODEL-1" least squares fit to WEIGHTED x,y-data pairs: % % The line is fit by MINIMIZING the WEIGHTED residuals in Y only. % % The equation of the line is: Y = mw * X + bw. % % Equations are from Bevington & Robinson (1992) % Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences, 2nd Ed." % for mw, bw, smw and sbw, see p. 98, example calculation in Table 6.2; % for rw, see p. 199, and modify eqn 11.17 for a weighted regression by % substituting Sw for n, Swx for Sx, Swy for Sy, Swxy for Sxy, etc. % % Data are input and output as follows: % % [mw,bw,rw,smw,sbw,xw,yw] = lsqfityw(X,Y,sY) % % X = x data (vector) % Y = y data (vector) % sY = estimated uncertainty in y data (vector) % % sy may be measured or calculated: % sY = sqrt(Y), 2% of y, etc. % data points are then weighted by: % w = 1 / sY-squared. % % mw = slope % bw = y-intercept % rw = weighted correlation coefficient % smw = standard deviation of the slope % sbw = standard deviation of the y-intercept % % NOTE that the line passes through the weighted centroid: (xw,yw). function [mw,bw,rw,smw,sbw,xw,yw]=lsqfityw(X,Y,sY) % Determine the size of the vector n = length(X); % Calculate the weighting factors W = 1 ./ (sY.^2); % Calculate the sums Sw = sum(W); Swx = sum(W .* X); Swy = sum(W .* Y); Swx2 = sum(W .* X.^2); Swxy = sum(W .* X .* Y); Swy2 = sum(W .* Y.^2); % Determine the weighted centroid xw = Swx / Sw; yw = Swy / Sw; % Calculate re-used expressions num = Sw * Swxy - Swx * Swy; del1 = Sw * Swx2 - Swx^2; del2 = Sw * Swy2 - Swy^2; % Calculate mw, bw, rw, smw, and sbw mw = num / del1; bw = (Swx2 * Swy - Swx * Swxy) / del1; rw = num / (sqrt(del1 * del2)); smw = sqrt(Sw / del1); sbw = sqrt(Swx2 / del1);
