I am trying to fit piecewise linear fit as shown in fig.1 for a data set
This figure was obtained by setting on the lines. I attempted to apply a piecewise linear fit using the code:
from scipy import optimize
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ,11, 12, 13, 14, 15])
y = np.array([5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 28.92, 42.81, 56.7, 70.59, 84.47, 98.36, 112.25, 126.14, 140.03])
def linear_fit(x, a, b):
return a * x + b
fit_a, fit_b = optimize.curve_fit(linear_fit, x[0:5], y[0:5])[0]
y_fit = fit_a * x[0:7] + fit_b
fit_a, fit_b = optimize.curve_fit(linear_fit, x[6:14], y[6:14])[0]
y_fit = np.append(y_fit, fit_a * x[6:14] + fit_b)
figure = plt.figure(figsize=(
