@sctg/polyfitjs v0.0.3

@sctg/polyfitjs

A TypeScript library for polynomial fitting.

Features

• Polynomial fitting up to n degrees
• Support for Array, Float32Array and Float64Array
• Correlation coefficient calculation
• Standard error calculation
• Polynomial expression generation

Installation

npm install @sctg/polyfitjs

Usage

Creating a polynomial function

import { Polyfit } from '@sctg/polyfitjs';

const x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const y = [0.01, 0.03, -0.02, 0.03, 0.02];
const poly = new Polyfit(x, y);
const solver = poly.getPolynomial(6);

// Using the solver
console.log(solver(1.17)); // Calculates y for x = 1.17

Getting coefficients

const terms = poly.computeCoefficients(6);
console.log(terms); // Shows polynomial coefficients

Finding the best fit for a given correlation coefficient

const terms = poly.computeBestFit(100,0.99); // Max degree, min correlation coefficient
console.log(terms); // Shows polynomial coefficients

Computing statistical metrics

const terms = poly.computeCoefficients(6);
const correlation = poly.correlationCoefficient(terms);
const stdError = poly.standardError(terms);

Building
