Software users can develop more meaningful conclusions and present compelling results with our signal analysis, statistical, graphing, curve fitting Curve fitting is finding a curve which matches a series of data points and possibly other constraints. This section is an introduction to both interpolation (where an exact fit to constraints is expected) and regression analysis. Both are sometimes used for extrapolation. , image analysis, peak separation and fitting and gel electrophoresis gel electrophoresis n.
