What is TableCurve 3D?
TableCurve 3D is the first and only program that combines a powerful surface adjuster with the ability to find the ideal equation to describe three-dimensional empirical data.
TableCurve 3D uses a selective subset procedure to adjust 36,000 of its 453,697,387 integrated equations from all disciplines to find the one that provides the optimal fit - instantly!
Overview
Model complex datasets quickly and easily
What before could take tedious work days now takes minutes, with a much more powerful result.
Find optimal equations to describe empirical data
TableCurve 3D gives scientists and engineers the power to find the ideal model for even the most complex data, including equations that may never have been considered. TableCurve 3D's integrated set of equations includes a wide variety of linear and nonlinear models for any application:
- Linear equations
- Polynomian and rational functions
- Logrhythmic and exponential functions
- Nonlinear peak functions
- Nonlinear transition functions
- Nonlinear exponential and power equations
- User-defined roles (up to 15)
- The next-generation TableCurve 3D surface docking includes features not found in other software packages:
- In addition to minimizing standard least squares, the TableCurve 3D nonlinear mechanism is capable of three different robust estimates: absolute minimum deviation, Lorentzian minimization, and Pearson VII Limit minimization.
- Option to change the maximum number of terms allowed when adjusting linear equations (minimum 3; maximum 11)
- On systems that support multi-threading, TableCurve 3D's Background Thread Processing option allows tuning to occur without any form of user input
- Option to define the meaning of the default term anywhere from 1 to 15.
