Corelating data using MATLAB

[snehaa69]

Hi,

I want to write a code in Matlab, that will find a best fit. I have 4 columns of values. The Red, Green and blue values and in the fourth column the temperature values. I want matlab to intelligently find me the best corelation between the RGB values and Temperature. Any pointers as to how i can go about doing this. Ofcourse the main goal is to get the best fit with minimum error.

Thanks in advance..

(Have pasted some raw data if that would help)

Red Blue Green Temp.

Assuming the correlation is of a linear type, then you could use a method known as linear regression/method of least squares, to map an equation of the form y=mx + c for each dataset.

That is to say have a linear equation for the red, blue and green data points.

Once equations have been derived for each dataset you can intelligently obtain some sort of pattern (correlation) between them.

If the data is not of a linear type, then things become more complex, although the method of least squares can still be applied. For instance, suppose that the equation is quadratic, meaning that f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b and c are not yet known. We now seek the values of a, b and c that minimize the sum of the squares of the residuals:

[tex]S=\sum_{i=1}^n(y_i-f(x_i))^2[/tex]

Simple as pie.
