1. What are model selection criteria in the context of data fitting?
2. What is the primary function of point cloud representation in data analysis?
3. How do affine (linear) models differ from polynomial models in curve fitting methods?
Model fit — goal?
Choose the model that best describes data, minimizing errors.
Point cloud — representation?
A set of spatial data points in 2D or 3D space.
Curve fitting — methods?
Using models like linear, polynomial, logarithmic, or exponential to approximate data.
Model fit — goal?
Minimize distance between model and data points.
Scatter plot — purpose?
Visualize data distribution and relationships.
R² — what?
Proportion of variance explained by model.
