  • 0

here is my formula:

y = b*exp(-((x-c)^2)/2(d^2)) if x < c, else y = b*exp(-(x-c)^2/2g^2);

this is how i coded it:

        for (double x = 0; x <= 7D; x += .01D)
        {
            b = 6.0410638; c = 2.1344769; d = 0.59183047; g = 0.77384504;
            if (x < c)
                y = b * Math.Exp(-Math.Pow((x - c), 2)) / (2 * Math.Pow(d, 2D));
            else
                y = b * Math.Exp(-Math.Pow((x - c), 2)) / (2 * Math.Pow(g, 2D));
            qResults.Rows.Add(x, y);
        }

the output:

    Based on your formula, the code should be:

        for (double x = 0; x <= 7D; x += .01D)
    {
        b = 6.0410638; c = 2.1344769; d = 0.59183047; g = 0.77384504;
        if (x < c)
            y = b * Math.Exp(-Math.Pow(x - c, 2) / (2 * Math.Pow(d, 2D)));
        else
            y = b * Math.Exp(-Math.Pow(x - c, 2) / (2 * Math.Pow(g, 2D)));
        qResults.Rows.Add(x, y);
    }

    Basically, the Math.Exp function should be applied to the result of the division, not just to the result of -Math.Pow(x - c, 2)

    Also, it’s not very clear based on the formula and your code example whether you need to divide by 2 in the exponent computation, then multiply the result by d^2, or actually divide by 2 * d^2 as you are doing in the implementation.
