Fitting dispersive line shapes in MPF2 using user-defined functions
mmcanally
Relatively new to using Igor Pro and I've run into an issue in fitting some of my spectral data.
My spectral data typically consists of between 3 and 12 dispersive line shapes (specifically Fano) that I'd like to fit.
Using the basic curve fitting tool I can enter in expressions that have variables to fit up to five Fano peaks, however I've got some spectra that have N>5. The limitation in using the basic curve fitting tool comes from having too long of an expression for more than five peaks. This seemed like a great place to use MPF2 since it also spits out residuals and has a nice UI. So I programmed what I thought were the appropriate functions for a Fano line shape and tried testing out (repeatedly) on a sample set of two peaks. Unfortunately, I can never get the procedure to move forward with any fits that look remotely close to fitting the data. Side-by-side in the .pxp is an example of a satisfactory fit using the brute force Curve Fitting dialog and a two peak Fano fitting function.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and happy holidays/New Year!

The basic problem with your attempt was using "x" in the fit function equation instead of "xw". I also added an arbitrary initialization of the q factor, simply setting it to -0.7 which seems to be about appropriate judging from the regular fit you included in the experiment file.
The function to turn the auto-locate info into a good initial guess will probably never work well, as auto-locate expects peaks to look sort of like a Gaussian, that is, it doesn't expect the "derivative of a peak" shape that has a peak followed by a valley.
I see that in your simple fit function there is only one value of q. There isn't a good way to achieve that in MPF2. I managed it for your two-peak fit by entering this in the inter-peak constraint box:
P0K3>P1K3;P0K3<P1K3;That makes the q for peak 0 both greater and less than the q for peak 1, a tricky way to get an equality constraint without holding the coefficients. You would need such a list having similar expressions for every pair between peak 0 and all the other peaks.
I have attached a modification of the experiment file that has my code changes (small but important!) and my fit that looks a lot like your simple curve fit in Graph0.
