How do I do polynomial regression in MATLAB?

Many students ask me how do I do this or that in MATLAB.  So I thought why not have a small series of my next few blogs do that.  In this blog, I show you how to do polynomial regression.

The MATLAB program link is here.
The HTML version of the MATLAB program is here.

Finding the optimum polynomial order to use for regression

Many a times, you may not have the privilege or knowledge of the physics of the problem to dictate the type of regression model. You may want to fit the data to a polynomial. But then how do you choose what order of polynomial to use.
Do you choose based on the polynomial order [...]

Data for aluminum cylinder in iced water experiment

A colleague asked me what if he did not have time or resources to do the experiments that have been developed at University of South Florida (USF) for numerical methods. He asked if I could share the data taken at USF.
Why not – here is the data for the experiment where an aluminum cylinder [...]

In regression, when is coefficient of determination zero

The coefficient of determination is a measure of how much of the original uncertainty in the data is explained by the regression model.
The coefficient of determination, is defined as
=
where
= sum of the square of the differences between the y values and the average value of y
= sum of the square of the [...]
