Thin-plate spline interpolation available from the Curve Fitting app and
the fit function
You can fit thin-plate spline surfaces in the Curve Fitting app and with the fit function.
Use thin-plate splines when you require both smooth surface interpolation and good
extrapolation properties.
In previous releases, you could use the tpaps function to fit thin-plate splines. However,
the tpaps function has a different syntax from the fit function and requires manual
preprocessing of data.
For details, see Interpolants.
Linear least-squares fitting for custom equations in the Curve Fitting app
In the Curve Fitting app, you can define custom linear equations that use linear least-
squares fitting. Linear least-squares fitting is more efficient and usually faster than
nonlinear fitting.
In previous releases, you could define linear equations in the Custom Equation fit type,
but the toolbox used nonlinear fitting that was slower. To use linear least-squares fitting
of custom linear equations, you had to use the legacy Curve Fitting Tool. You no longer
need to use the legacy tool because you can use the Linear Fitting model type in the
Curve Fitting app.
For details, see Custom Linear Fitting.
