MATLAB: Plot polyfit R-squared

fittingplottingpolyfitr-squared

Hi guys,
could you please help me figure out why the polyfit works in one figure but not in the other? I don'T understand why it's not plotting the full line in the second figure.
Thank you!

coeffs = polyfit(d_rel_mM, dil_rel, 1);
fittedX = linspace(min(d_rel_mM), max(d_rel_mM), 200);
fittedY = polyval(coeffs, fittedX);
coeffs_a = polyfit(d_rel_mM, time_a, 1);
fittedXA = linspace(min(time_a), max(time_a), 200);
fittedYA = polyval(coeffs_a, fittedXA);
figure(1)
plot(d_rel_mM,dil_rel,'x','Markersize',15, 'Linewidth',6)
xlabel('Imaging depth [\mum]', 'Fontname','LM Roman 10','Fontsize', 40)
ylabel('Peak dilation [%]','Fontname','LM Roman 10','Fontsize', 40)
set(gca,'Fontname','LM Roman 10','FontSize',20,'box','off')
axis tight
hold on;
plot(fittedX, fittedY, 'k-', 'LineWidth', 2);
%%
figure(3)    %% INCOMPLETE LINE, SEE ATTACHED
plot(d_rel_mM,time_a,'x','Markersize',15, 'Linewidth',6)
xlabel('Imaging depth [\mum]', 'Fontname','LM Roman 10','Fontsize', 40)
ylabel('Time constant 1/\alpha [s]','Fontname','LM Roman 10','Fontsize', 40)
set(gca,'Fontname','LM Roman 10','FontSize',20,'box','off')
axis tight
hold on;
plot(fittedXA, fittedYA, 'k-', 'LineWidth', 3);

Best Answer

Because
>> fittedXA(1),fittedXA(end)
ans =
    10
ans =
    20
>>
and that's what you plotted as the abscissa for some reason whereas the data are plotted versus ImagingDepth which has range of 
>> min(d_rel_mM),max(d_rel_mM)
ans =
     0
ans =
  345.4000
>>
You've mixed up x and y for the prediction line evaluation...use
coeffs_a = polyfit(d_rel_mM, time_a, 1);
fittedXA = linspace(min(d_rel_mM), max(d_rel_mM), 200);
fittedYA = polyval(coeffs_a, fittedXA);
and all will be well...
