Find Sine function without given Minimum












1














So, recently for a grade 11 school math project, I collected data, which I knew took a form of a sine graph, but the values which experimented to find were chosen randomly. Faith the data collected, I got the maximum point, but did not include the minimum point. So is there a way to find an equation of sine regression if no minimum is given/shown?

  • Attempting to "solve" the sine wave with several points could be a good starting point - you have unknown as - frequency, phase and amplitude and bias (I assume all the values are positive. Usually you loom for a sine wave that provides you the lowest error (based on RMS)

Given $n$ data points $(x_i,y_i)$ for a sine wave means fitting the model
$$y=A+Bsin(Cx+D)$$ and it is a quite difficelt task (google for fitting a sine wave).



From a practical point of view, it is easier to expand the sine term and consider instead
$$y=a+bsin(cx)+dcos(cx)$$ Taking into account the fact that your $x_i$'s are given in degrees, I prefer to rewrite the model as
$$y=a+b sin left(cfrac{pi x}{180}right)+d cos left(cfrac{pi x}{180}right)$$This problem is nonlinear (because of the $c$ parameter). If $c$ was known, it would just be a multilinear regression easy to do.



So, for the time being, give $c$ a value; for this value, compute $a,b,d$ and the sum of squares $SSQ$ (all of that can easily be done using Excel). Now, plot $SSQ$ a a funtion of $c$ and locate its minimum. When done, you have all the estimates required for the nonlinear regression for a fine tuning of the parameters.



Using the data you posted, $c=4.5$ seems to be a good candidate. Using this value and the corresponding $a,b,d$ obtained by the preliminary multilinear regression, a nonlinear regression will give
$$a=34.442 qquad b=6.987 qquad c=4.526 qquad d=8.002$$ For these values, the table below reproduces your data and the predicted values from the regression
$$left(
begin{array}{ccc}
x & y & text{predicted} \
90 & 48.88 & 45.003 \
68 & 33.98 & 33.820 \
41.2 & 26.58 & 25.704 \
33.2 & 30.72 & 30.960 \
20.4 & 38.59 & 41.098 \
0 & 40.28 & 42.445
end{array}
right)$$
which is not fantastic even if $R^2=0.9968$ seems to be be quite good.



Now, taking the derivative of $y$ with respect to $x$
$$y'=frac{pi c}{180} left(b cos left(cfrac{pi x}{180}right)-d sin
left(cfrac{pi x}{180}right)right) $$
and solving the trigonometric equation
$$b cos left(cfrac{pi x}{180}right)-d sin
left(cfrac{pi x}{180}right)=0 implies x=frac{180 }{pi c}tan ^{-1}left(frac{b}{d}right)$$
gives $y_{max}=45.066$ at $x=88.63 ^{circ}$ and $y_{min}=23.819$ at $x=48.86 ^{circ}$.

$$b cos left(cfrac{pi x}{180}right)-d sin
left(cfrac{pi x}{180}right)=0 implies x=frac{180 }{pi c}tan ^{-1}left(frac{b}{d}right)$$
gives $y_{max}=45.066$ at $x=88.63 ^{circ}$ and $y_{min}=23.819$ at $x=48.86 ^{circ}$.

  • OMG ur a legend! However im confused on how and why you split up the original equation to y=a+bsin(cx)+dcos(cx) and how you found the a b c and d values. is it possible for you to explain more indepth, and how you did it on excel?

  • @JugalBilimoria. Start with the initial model and expand $sin(Cx+D)$. Then, linear regressions for given $c$. Polish the whole using nonlinear regression or optimization with Excel solver.

  • I also need to shot step by step, and annotate how and why for the project. So is it possible for you to explain it to me as I am still confused about your method(e.g. getting c as 4.5, then computing abd on excel use. Sum of squares). Thanks for everything in advance!

  • @JugalBilimoria. Do you know about linear regression or not yet ?

  • Yes i do, along with quadratic, exponential, sine, cos, etc...
