ml-levenberg-marquardt

levenberg-marquardt

Curve fitting method in javascript

Installation

$ npm install ml-levenberg-marquardt

API Documentation

This algorithm is based on the article Brown, Kenneth M., and J. E. Dennis. "Derivative free analogues of the Levenberg-Marquardt and Gauss algorithms for nonlinear least squares approximation." Numerische Mathematik 18.4 (1971): 289-297.

In order to get a general idea of the problem you could also check the Wikipedia article.

Example

// import library
const LM = require('ml-levenberg-marquardt');

// function that receives the parameters and returns
// a function with the independent variable as a parameter
function sinFunction ([a, b]) {
  return (t) => (a * Math.sin(b * t));
}

// array of points to fit
let data = {
    x: [ /* x1, x2, ... */ ],
    y: [ /* y1, y2, ... */ ]
};

// array of initial parameter values
let initialValues = [ /* a, b, c, ... */ ];

const options = {
  damping: 1.5,
  initialValues: initialValues,
  gradientDifference: 10e-2,
  maxIterations: 100,
  errorTolerance: 10e-3
};

let fittedParams = LM(data, sinFunction, options);
