Abstract

Procedures are given for smoothing and differentiating experimental data with both equal and nonequal spacing in the independent variable. Selection of the number of points to be included in the "movable strip" technique and of the degree of the polynomial is discussed. Equations are given to estimate the error by calculating a confidence interval on each slope. A technique for handling certain types of nonrandom errors is presented. © 1967, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
