Re: [Phys-L] Fwd: Re: six more days in Okla

If so, you did what colleges teach - giving undue weight to HIGH values and all but ignoring low values. But I am pleased to see someone is interested in tracking the time series.


That’s the impression I thought. Much earlier I fitted to early sections middle and end. Fortunately, I saved them, but didn’t think about the result. I’ll look and think. However, I think the fit (is a Marquardt) treats each datum equally unless one weights the data.


Have you been best-fitting log cases vs time by any chance?


Whether the scale (ordinate) is linear of log, the fit is the same.


bc delayed, soon

Hmmmmm: your best fit of cumulative cases vs time puts most datapoints below the red line.
