FNLSQ
Computes a least-squares approximation with user-supplied basis functions.
Required Arguments
F — User-supplied function to evaluate basis functions. The form is F(K, X),
where
K – Number of the basis function. (Input)
K may be equal to 1, 2, …, NBASIS.
X – Argument for evaluation of the K-th basis function. (Input)
F – The function value. (Output)
F must be declared EXTERNAL in the calling program. The data FDATA is approximated by A(1) * F(1, X) + A(2) * F(2, X) + … + A(NBASIS) * F(NBASIS, X) if INTCEP = 0 and is approximated by A(1) + A(2) * F(1, X) +…+ A(NBASIS + 1) * F(NBASIS, X) if INTCEP = 1.
XDATA — Array of length NDATA containing the abscissas of the data points. (Input)
FDATA — Array of length NDATA containing the ordinates of the data points. (Input)
A — Array of length INTCEP + NBASIS containing the coefficients of the approximation. (Output)
If INTCEP = 1, A(1) contains the intercept. A(INTCEP + I) contains the coefficient of the I-th basis function.
SSE — Sum of squares of the errors. (Output)
Optional Arguments
INTCEP — Intercept option. (Input)
Default: INTCEP = 0.
INTCEP Action
0 No intercept is automatically included in the model.
1 An intercept is automatically included in the model.
NBASIS — Number of basis functions. (Input)
Default: NBASIS = size (A,1)
NDATA — Number of data points. (Input)
Default: NDATA = size (XDATA,1).
IWT — Weighting option. (Input)
Default: IWT = 0.
IWT Action
0 Weights of one are assumed.
1 Weights are supplied in WEIGHT.
WEIGHT — Array of length NDATA containing the weights. (Input if IWT = 1)
If IWT = 0, WEIGHT is not referenced and may be dimensioned of length one.
FORTRAN 90 Interface
Generic: CALL FNLSQ (F, XDATA, FDATA, A, SSE [, …])
Specific: The specific interface names are S_FNLSQ and D_FNLSQ.
FORTRAN 77 Interface
Single: CALL FNLSQ (F, INTCEP, NBASIS, NDATA, XDATA, FDATA, IWT, WEIGHT, A, SSE)
Double: The double precision name is DFNLSQ.
Description
The routine FNLSQ computes a best least-squares approximation to given univariate data of the form
by M basis functions
(where M = NBASIS). In particular, if INTCEP = 0, this routine returns the error sum of squares SSE and the coefficients a which minimize
where w = WEIGHT, N = NDATA, x = XDATA, and, f = FDATA.
If INTCEP = 1, then an intercept is placed in the model; and the coefficients a, returned by FNLSQ, minimize the error sum of squares as indicated below.
That is, the first element of the vector a is now the coefficient of the function that is identically 1 and the coefficients of the Fj’s are now aj+1.
One additional parameter in the calling sequence for FNLSQ is IWT. If IWT is set to 0, then wi = 1 is assumed. If IWT is set to 1, then the user must supply the weights.
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of F2LSQ/DF2LSQ. The reference is:
CALL F2LSQ (F, INTCEP, NBASIS, NDATA, XDATA, FDATA, IWT, WEIGHT, A, SSE, WK)
The additional argument is
WK — Work vector of length (INTCEP + NBASIS)**2 + 4 * (INTCEP + NBASIS) + IWT + 1. On output, the first (INTCEP + NBASIS)**2 elements of WK contain the R matrix from a QR decomposition of the matrix containing a column of ones (if INTCEP = 1) and the evaluated basis functions in columns INTCEP + 1 through INTCEP + NBASIS.

Example
In this example, we fit the following two functions (indexed by δ)
1 + sin x + 7 sin 3x + δɛ
where ɛ is random uniform deviate over the range [−1, 1], and δ is 0 for the first function and 1 for the second. These functions are evaluated at 90 equally spaced points on the interval [0, 6]. We use 4 basis functions, sin kx for k = 1, …, 4, with and without the intercept.
