NIST/ITL StRD Dataset Name: Roszman1 (Roszman1.dat) File Format: ASCII Starting Values (lines 41 to 44) Certified Values (lines 41 to 49) Data (lines 61 to 85) Procedure: Nonlinear Least Squares Regression Description: These data are the result of a NIST study involving quantum defects in iodine atoms. The response variable is the number of quantum defects, and the predictor variable is the excited energy state. The argument to the ARCTAN function is in radians. Reference: Roszman, L., NIST (19??). Quantum Defects for Sulfur I Atom. Data: 1 Response (y = quantum defect) 1 Predictor (x = excited state energy) 25 Observations Average Level of Difficulty Observed Data Model: Miscellaneous Class 4 Parameters (b1 to b4) pi = 3.141592653589793238462643383279E0 y = b1 - b2*x - arctan[b3/(x-b4)]/pi + e Starting Values Certified Values Start 1 Start 2 Parameter Standard Deviation b1 = 0.1 0.2 1.20196866396E-0 1.9172666023E-02 b2 = -0.00001 -0.000005 -6.1953516256E-06 3.2058931691E-06 b3 = 1000 1200 1.2044556708E+03 7.4050983057E+01 b4 = -100 -150 -1.8134269537E+02 4.9573513849E+01 Residual Sum of Squares: 4.9484847331E-04 Residual Standard Deviation: 4.8542984060E-03 Degrees of Freedom: 21 Number of Observations: 25 Data: y x 0.252429 -4868.68 0.252141 -4868.09 0.251809 -4867.41 0.297989 -3375.19 0.296257 -3373.14 0.295319 -3372.03 0.339603 -2473.74 0.337731 -2472.35 0.333820 -2469.45 0.389510 -1894.65 0.386998 -1893.40 0.438864 -1497.24 0.434887 -1495.85 0.427893 -1493.41 0.471568 -1208.68 0.461699 -1206.18 0.461144 -1206.04 0.513532 -997.92 0.506641 -996.61 0.505062 -996.31 0.535648 -834.94 0.533726 -834.66 0.568064 -710.03 0.612886 -530.16 0.624169 -464.17
