Question
A noise that grows louder over time is measured six times, and the following dataset is created (data in NoiseTime.txt and NoiseLoud.txt):
|
Time (s) |
1 |
1.3 |
… |
5.6 |
6 |
|
Loudness (dB) |
1.3 |
2.7 |
… |
86 |
104 |
Use MATLAB to perform the following tasks:
(Note: You will have to run this program more than once in order to complete it.)
a) Determine which type of function may provide the best fit by plotting the data on the following axes. Use the subplot command to include them in the same window (see problem c for plot arrangement).
|
X –axis |
Y – axis |
Function |
|
Linear |
Linear |
Linear y=mx+b |
|
Logarithmic |
Logarithmic |
Power Y=bxm |
|
Linear |
Logarithmic |
Exponential y= bemx |
The best function is the one whose data points appear to be in a straight line. Decide upon the best function, and output your choice of function to the command window (linear, logarithmic, or exponential).
b) Use polyfit to find a polynomial that fits the data. Use the following table to choose the correct format for polyfit. Note: polynomial degree n=1 always when fitting a non-polynomial. The first element p(1) gives m, and the second element p(2) gives b. In order to plot on linear-linear axes, you will have to transform the constants back. Output the values of m and b, transformed to linear-linear axes (to 3 decimal places), to the command window (using fprintf).

Polytfit form |
|
Linear |
P=polytfit(x,y,n) |
|
Power |
P=polyfit(log(x),log(y),1) |
|
Exponential |
P=polyfit(x,log(y),1) |
c) Plot your fitted polynomial and all data points (using linear-linear axes) as a fourth subplot in the same window (as shown below). Use intervals of 0.1. Include a legend.

Linear Data Plot (1,1) |
Power Transformed Data Plot (2, 1) |

Exponential Transformed Data Plot (2, 1) |
Fitted Function Plot (2, 2) |

Material provided by the online mechanical engineering tutor at HwA was absolutely fantastic and just the thing I needed to write my mechanical engineering term paper on Fluid Mechanics. The online mechanical engineering tutor assigned to me helped me understand the crucial details of the topic and that along with the reference material and notes provided helped me to write my term paper and get an A in it!
There was a research based assignment on the clinical services available for the aboriginals of New Zealand and for that I needed some expert who knows the nursing industry of New Zealand more than anything else. Luckily here I got hold of one lovely professor who helped me that assignment and many other assignments in the due time.
I was struggling with the deadlines of my assignments and increasingly felt at a loss with my Asian Legal Studies assignments. 24 hours in a day were not enough to do the research and structure the assignment essay. At TheReliableTutor the tutors understand my deadlines and I have never had them delay.
It is important to have a constant guide while you do your dissertation as the lack of constant help often leaves you all the more bewildered. The New Zealand dissertation expert who helped me with my assignment was available on a constant basis and she helped me get a fantastic grade.
I was marveled to find out that HwA offers such specific subject related nursing assignment solution. I always aimed to be a oncology nurse as the subject itself triggered my sense and passion for caring patients in need and when I saw the experts here in HwA dealing with the subject, I felt more inspired. I regularly took help and even now during my DNP I take constant help from the oncology nursing experts.

this is a very good website
I have 50 questions for the same test your page is showing only 28
hi can you please help or guide me to answer my assignments. thanks
hi can anyone help or guide me to my assignments. thanks
This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
