SwarmFit

SwarmFit is a .NET package for fitting curves to X/Y data points using particle swarm optimization. Unlike other gradient decent strategies, finding the derivative of the error function is not required. SwarmFit can be used to calculate best fit curves for arbitrary equations that use any number of parameters.

Quickstart

// data points to fit double[] xs = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; double[] ys = [304, 229, 174, 134, 111]; // define a fit function using any number of parameters static double MyFunc(double x, double[] parameters) { double a = parameters[0]; double b = parameters[1]; double c = parameters[2]; return a + b * Math.Exp(x * c); } // define the minimum and maximum value for each parameter double[] paramMins = [-100, -5000, -10]; double[] paramMaxs = [100, 5000, 10]; // perform the fit double[] solution = QuickFit.Solve(xs, ys, MyFunc, minParams, maxParams); // display the solution double a = solution[0]; double b = solution[1]; double c = solution[2]; Console.WriteLine($"Y = {a} + {b} * e^(x * {c})");
