Titanium test data

Syntax

• [x,y] = titanium
  

Description

[x,y] = titanium returns measurements of a certain property of titanium as a function of temperature. Since their use in [1], these data have become a standard test for data fitting since they are hard to fit by classical techniques and have a significant amount of noise.

Examples

The plot of the data shown below is generated by the following commands:

• [x,y] = titanium; plot(x,y,'ok'), set(gca,'Fontsize',16)
