In breakout rooms, you’ll need to implement a model fit. I assigned each breakout room a model:
aerosol_avocet 1
aligned_avocet 2
broker_barnacle 3
dread_dingo    4
flowing_fossa  5
foggy_fossa    6
injured_indri  7
irritate_iguana 8
literary_lion  1
reserve_robin  2
stolen_skunk   3
unequal_uakari 4
wistful_walrus 5

Share one new thing you learned from the 01_fitting-with-least-squaresnotebook? (Reply in thread.)

I learned that you can perform regressions for many functions for multiple parameters (not just linear).

What should we discuss in the main session from the 01_fitting-with-least-squaresnotebook? (Reply in thread).

How does sum of square residuals contribute to the fit?

Luis Perez

It's the value that is being minimized by scipy.optimization.least_squares to achieve a better fit

I would rate my understanding of the material in the 01_fitting-with-least-squaresnotebook as:

In the notebook, it says to “Write the SSR and number of parameters on the board”. Since we have no board, please post these as a reply in thread to this message.

Model 4: 3 parameters, SSR = 1.99

Laura Desban

;odel 3: 4 parameters, SSR = 1.82

Natanya Villegas
