Question:

The power (in microwatts) of a laser is measured as a function of current (in milliamps). Find the linear least-squares fit (Exercise 60) for the data points.

Current (milliamps) Laser power (microwatts) 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 0.52 0.56 0.82 1.5 0.78 1.23 1.50


Data From Exercise 60

Given n data points (x1, y1), . . . , (xn, yn), the linear least-squares fit is the linear function

that minimizes the sum of the squares (Figure 26):  E(m, b) = ; - f(x;))2 j=1 f(x) = mx + b Show that the

or M  m+=; j=1 j=1 j=1 M m x; +bn= j=1 j=1
