Subject: bug report

From: Alexander Platt <platta [...] usc.edu>
I don't know if this is a bug in CurveFit or a bug in Math::Symbolic. The code below works just fine. Note, however, that the formula is written strangely. This is because while 'K+-C*exp(-L*x)' works, 'K-C*exp(-L*x)' does not. '-C*exp(-L*x)+K' also works. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Algorithm::CurveFit; my $formula = 'K+-C*exp(-L*x)'; my $variable='x'; my @xdata=(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7); my @ydata=(.2, .601, .8, .9, .948, .975, .98255, .99); my @parameters=(['C', 0.8, 0.001], ['K', 1, 0.001], ['L', 1, 0.0001]); my $max_iter=100; my $square_residual=Algorithm::CurveFit->curve_fit( formula=>$formula, params=>\@parameters, variable=>$variable, xdata=>\@xdata, ydata=>\@ydata, maximum_iterations=>$max_iter ); print "done\t"; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexander Platt University of Southern California Center of Excellence in Genome Science Office 413J 1050 Childs Way Los Angeles, CA 90089 phone: +1 213 821 3995 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the bug report. Turns out that this is a bug in Math::Symbolic. It's fixed in the SVN trunk. Expect a fixed release of Math::Symbolic (0.602) to propagate to the CPAN mirrors shortly. Best regards, Steffen
