Curve fitting is a class of numerical methods which seeks to explain the behavior of a series of discrete points using a single continuous function. Two main categories of curve fitting are [[regression]], which approximates the behavior of a set of data points, and [[interpolation]], which creates a curve which goes through every data point in the set. | Curve fitting is a class of numerical methods which seeks to explain the behavior of a series of discrete points using a single continuous function.

Curve Fitting
Curve fitting is a class of numerical methods which seeks to explain the behavior of a series of discrete points using a single continuous function. Two main categories of curve fitting are regression, which approximates the behavior of a set of data points, and interpolation, which creates a curve which goes through every data point in the set.
