curve.fit

X Log X

A constant plus a term in x ln x. Use it when theory predicts this form, for example the running time of an algorithm that grows as n log n.

Parameters

Value of y at x = 1, where ln x = 0.
Coefficient of x ln x.

Tips

  • x must be positive.
  • To report the coefficient of x log₂ x instead, multiply B by ln 2.
  • With no uncertainties selected, the goodness of fit is R², because the model is linear in its parameters.
