It is very simple to define any function for data fitting and then quickly get fit parameters. That is one area where OriginPro certainly stands out from other options. If I am faced with a theoretical function that is not a simple polynomial or other common function, finding best-fit values in many packages is far from straightforward. One critical aspect of data analysis, that in other packages I often feel is overly labor intensive, is fitting to a user-defined function.

I have long used a combination of MATLAB and Excel, so when I began exploring the latest release of OriginPro, I was certainly an Origin amateur. Most of us rely on one of three primary options-a simple, general package such as Excel a mathematical programming system such as MATLAB or a system dedicated solely to data analysis and graphing such as OriginPro. No matter your area of research, a key component of any experimental or computational investigation is the analysis and presentation of your data.
