Power Law with Vertical Offset

A power law plus a constant offset. Use it when y follows a power of x but does not approach zero.

Fit the example dataStart with your own data

Example: simulated power radiated by a lamp filament against temperature, 16 points with x and y uncertainties, opened as a new copy you can edit.

Parameters

Scale factor.
Exponent.
Constant offset added to the power law.

Tips

  • Use x ≥ 0 when B can take non-integer values; a point at x = 0 needs a positive B.
  • Without an offset, Power Law has one parameter fewer and is easier to determine.
