SUMMARY

This workshop introduces fundamental concepts and techniques for finding curves that best fit your data. Participants will learn to model relationships between variables, smooth out noisy data, and make inferences using linear and non-linear curve approximation and interpolation. Through practical examples, participants will develop skills to successfully capture underlying trends.
