how to take the derivative of the function saved from curve fitting tool

22 views (last 30 days)
I want to take the derivative of the following function after extracting the curve fitted from cftool. I have saved the curve fitted curve to my workspace.
I want to know how to get the highest slope (derivate) of the curve with respect to x-data ?

If you have the values of your fitted curve saved, you can calculate the first derivative by using the gradient function: https://nl.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/gradient.html For example
fx = gradient(x) %calculate first derivative of the vector x containing your curve data.
Hope this works :)

I used the equation, but the max slope was increasing with decreasing the step until certain limit then the max slope become constant. I think that is normal, right?

As per the definition of a slope, this is indeed normal. It is literally called "derivatve" because ultimately it determines the slopes over a infinitesimal x-step. So yes, once it converges to a constant value that should be right I think!
