-====== Calculating Integrals and Statistics on Intervals with Fit Plot ====== +====== Calculating Integrals and Statistics on Intervals using Fit Plot ======
-Setting intervals in ''Fit interval'' tab of Fit Plot is initially intended for setting data range which is used for fitting by sum of fit curves. However, this tab can also be used to calculate integrals and statistics on these intervals (Statistics is only available in Pro edition). Data-Baseline is used to calculate the results.+
  
-MagicPlot can integrate data on selected intervals and calculate peak moments (x mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis). Spectrum line is treated as probability distribution curve: //x// values are treated as 'independent variableand //y// values are treated as 'probability'Standard statistical formulas are used to calculate moments+Setting of intervals in ''Fit interval'' tab of Fit Plot was initially intended for specifying the range of data which are used for fitting by sum of fit curvesHowever, this tab can also be used to calculate integrals and statistics on these intervals.

-Statistical data and integrals are automatically updated if //x// or //y// data is changed or intervals are changed.+===== Peak Moments ===== 
 +MagicPlot can integrate data on selected intervals and calculate peak moments (x mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis). Spectrum line is treated as probability distribution curve: //x// values are treated as 'independent variable' and //y// values are treated as 'probability'. Standard statistical formulas are used to calculate moments (see below).

 ===== Relative Integrals Calculation ===== ===== Relative Integrals Calculation =====
-MagicPlot can calculate relative integrals to compare the relative intensity of spectrum lines. To compute relative integrals set ''Relative integrals'' check box. MagicPlot designate the smallest integral as 1 but you can enter a custom value. If you want to set not the smallest integral as reference point, enter 1 first and then enter the value of desired integral relative to 1 to this field, so that other integrals will be calculated relative to this new value.+MagicPlot can calculate relative integrals to compare the relative intensity of spectrum lines.

-===== Formulas =====+===== Computational Formulas ===== 
 +Central moments are calculated as follows (see table). All sums are calculated using [[wp>Compensated_summation|compensated summation]]. Central moments are calculated on second pass after Mean calculation.
