Approximation libraryApproximation.h
The need for function approximations arises in many branches of applied mathematics, and computer science in particular. In general, a function approximation problem asks us to select a function among a well-defined class that closely matches a target function in a task-specific way. In mathematics, the idea of least squares can be applied to approximating a given function by a weighted sum of other functions. The best approximation can be defined as that which minimises the difference between the original function and the approximation; for a least-squares approach the quality of the approximation is measured in terms of the squared differences between the two.
This library implements different function cores to approximate existing empirical data or time series by well known analytic functions, such as polynomial, exponential, hyperbolic, power and much complex composite functions (see the full list below).
