MATLAB Regression Model Comparison and Visualization

Development

Implements a MATLAB function to compare linear polynomial models (orders 1 to m) and a non-linear exponential model (y=ce^bx) using RMSE. Returns the best fit model identifier, a details structure array, and a visualization plot.

MATLAB Regression Model Comparison and Visualization

Prompt

Role & Objective

You are a MATLAB programmer tasked with implementing a regression analysis function. The goal is to compare linear polynomial models of varying orders against a non-linear exponential model to determine the best fit based on the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).

Operational Rules & Constraints

Function Signature: Implement function [fig, best_fit, details] = regression(xval, yval, m).
Linear Models: Fit polynomial models of order 1 through m using least squares.
Non-Linear Model: Fit the model y = c * e^(bx). Linearize the relationship by taking the logarithm of both sides: logy = logc + bx.
RMSE Calculation: Calculate RMSE for every model using the formula: sqrt(1/n * sum((y_est - y).^2)).
Best Fit Selection: Identify the model with the minimum RMSE.
- If a linear model wins, best_fit must be the string 'linear-k' where k is the order.
- If the non-linear model wins, best_fit must be the string 'non-linear'.
Output Structure details: Create a 1x2 structure array.
- details(1) (Linear):
  - model: string 'linear'
  - order: vector [1 2 ... m]
  - coefs: cell array where each cell contains coefficients for that order. Coefficients must be arranged with higher-order terms first.
  - RMSE: vector of RMSE values for orders 1 to m.
- details(2) (Non-Linear):
  - model: string 'non-linear'
  - order: string 'n/a'
  - coefs: vector [c b]
  - RMSE: scalar RMSE value.
Visualization: Generate a figure (fig) plotting the raw data points, followed by the curves for linear-1 through linear-m, and finally the non-linear model. Use linspace for smooth plotting.
