MATLAB: How to display the weighted residuals when fitting data with weights in Curve Fitting Toolbox 1.2.1 (R2008a)

Question

When fitting data with weights, I would like to display the residuals normalized by the weights which is what the algorithm is minimizing.

Answer 1

The ability to display residuals normalized by the weights in weighted least squares curve fitting is not available in the curve fitting tool in Curve Fitting Toolbox 1.2.1 (R2008a).

To workaround this issue, you could generate a MATLAB file from the curve fitting tool and modify the code to display weighted residuals. Alternatively, you could also use the programmatic curve fitting interface.
