To fit a curve onto a set of points, we can use ordinary least-squares regression. There is a solution page by MathWorks describing the process. As an example, let’s start with some random data: % some 3d points data = mvnrnd([0 0 0], [1 -0.5 0.8; -0.5 1.1 0; 0.8 0 1], 50); As @BasSwinckels … Read more
Pulled directly from my answer to this other question. The method will work, but will be slow. “How big are your numbers?” determines the method to use: Less than 2^16 or so: Lookup table. Less than 2^70 or so: Richard Brent’s modification of Pollard’s rho algorithm. Less than 10^50: Lenstra elliptic curve factorization Less than … Read more
