Fitting subrange data with constraints

Share icon

I am trying to fit data for subrange of Xvalues (independent variable) with fit coefficients in between 0 and 1. Right now, I am extracting subrange of data but this is time and space consuming. As an alternative I tried with this code but fit for subrange of data is not working. Here is the snippet of the code
Function FitSpectrum(ww,xx) : FitFunc

    WAVE ww
    variable xx
    SetScale/I X, 5,30
    Variable w1=0,w2=0,w3=0,w4=0,w5=0,w6=0,w7=0,qq=0
    Variable T1=0.24, S1=0.047, T2=0.24, S2=0.047, x1=1.908, x2=1.918,
    //Variable StartP, EndP
    //StartP=xx[5]
    //EndP=xx[30]
    w1 = exp(0.5*(S1/T1)^2-(xx-x1)/T1)  
    w2 = erfc(0.707*(S1/T1-(xx-x1)/S1))
    w3 = ww[0]
        w7 = ww[1]
        w8 = exp(-((xx-x3)/S3)^2
        qq = w3*(w1*w2)+w7*w8
return qq

////////////
I called this fit equation to fit mulitple spectrums that make up a 2D data (raw data) using this code
<pre><code class="language-igor">
Function ProcessData(DataFolderName, DataName)
String DataFolderName, DataName  
Variable i
    DFRef OldDF=GetDataFolderDFR()
    SetDataFolder $DataFolderName
    Wave Data=$DataName
    Duplicate /O Data $("fit_"+DataName)
    Make /O /N=(DimSize(Data,1)) A1, A2
    Make/O/D/N=2 T_Constraints
    Make /FREE /D /N=2 w_coef={1,2}
    Make /FREE /N=(Dimsize(Data,0)) Fit
    SetScale X, 5,30
    For (i=0;i<Dimsize(Data,1);i+=1)
        //Display /K=3 /W=(10*i,10*i+40, 10*i+440, 10*i+40+210) Data[][i]/TN=$(DataName+"_"+Num2str(i)) as DataName+"_"+num2str(i)
             T_Constraints= {A1[i] > 1e-10,A1[i] < 1.0001,A2[i] > 1e-10,A2[i] < 1.0001}
         FuncFit /Q FitSpectrum w_coef Data[][i]/D=Fit/C=T_Constraints                           //this fit function for constraint works
             //FuncFit /Q FitSpectrum w_coef Data[][i]/D=Fit/X=xx(5, 30)/C=T_Constraints         // does not work when flag for subrange of data is added  


I would appreciate any thoughts or help.
You need to specify a wavename for SetScale. I would also only run SetScale once outside the FitFunc instead of inside the FitFunc.

The constraint wave also need to be a text wave and you have to use K0, K1, K2 etc... to describe your variables (In your case K0 is w_coef[0] and K1 is w_coef[1]). A statement such as "A1[i] > 1e-10" makes no sense since A1 is not a fit variable. Read DisplayHelpTopic "Fitting with Constraints"

Thanks Olelytken for your feedback. I think I undesrtood now why fitting constraints work even if I disable the code. It worked because at first I created a textwave for the fitting constraints, K's which was stored in the data folder and later to fix issues of subrange data I might have replaced them with A's in the procedure file.
Coming back to the subrange data, the fit does not work and I am assuming error in the line where I call Funcfit
Function ProcessData(DataFolderName, DataName)
String DataFolderName, DataName  
Variable i
    DFRef OldDF=GetDataFolderDFR()
    SetDataFolder $DataFolderName
    Wave Data=$DataName
SetScale/I X, 5,30, Data          
.......
 FuncFit /Q FitSpectrum w_coef Data[][i]/D=Fit/X=Data(5, 30)/C=T_Constraints
