Constrained Non linear least squares returns equation parameters much different from true set

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello all,
I'm pacticing 3-4 parametrs fitting for kinetic rate equations, started with a simple example and looked at lsqnonlin option.
I'm getting results that are fare from my initial set even for different initial guess.
Also checked the levenberg-marquardt option (It is unconstrained).
Please advise of more definitions for a better convergance.
Thank you,
YA

I don't know exactly where your error is, but I reworked your code, and in my reworked version lsqnonlin returns the correct answer.
N = 50;
v = linspace(0.5,4.1,N);
[X,Y] = meshgrid(v);
p0=[1.75 1.4 2.5 1.8];
Z = p0(1)*X.^p0(2) + (Y.^p0(3)) + p0(4);
nexttile
surf(X,Y,Z)
title('True plot')
t = Z + randn(size(Z))*0.1;
fun = @(p)p(1)*X.^p(2)+(Y.^p(3)) + p(4) - t;
p00 = [1.8 1.1 2.1 1.3];
lb = [1 1 2 0];
ub = [4 5 5 2];
options = optimoptions('lsqnonlin','Display','iter');
p = lsqnonlin(fun,p00,lb,ub,options)
Z2 = p(1)*X.^p(2) + (Y.^p(3)) + p(4);
nexttile
surf(X,Y,Z2)
