Fitting

JIRA	SUMMARY	DESCRIPTION	DETAILS
ORG-19321	Better support of doing fitting or peak analysis (including related gadgets) on Y offset plot.	Better support of doing fitting or peak analysis on Y offset plot	In the past, if user plot stacked lines with Y offset and then do fitting, the fitted curves are not stacked and stay with original plot. Improved in Origin 2019b.
ORG-19777	Improve Statistics results for some special NLFit types	Improve Statistics results for some special NLFit types	*For Nonlinear Multiple Dependent Variables Fitting, ANOVA* table is improved. Before 2019b, ANOVA table in the report only shows the results for the first dataset(Dataset B in the following case). Now the result is improved and similar to Global Fit's result, DF and TSS should be total data. For the Nonlinear Fitting using Orthogonal Distance Regression, R-Square quantity is improved.** Before 2019b, R-Squared value may always be 1 though the ODR fit is normal. It is caused by the inappropriate TSS. Now the R-Square should be more accurate as TSS calculation is improved as: TSS = sum( (y - ymean)^2) + sum( (x - xmean)^2) R^2 = 1 - RSS/TSS where TSS is the total sum of square, and RSS is the residual sum of square.
APPS-630	Gel Molecular Weight Analyzer	Determine gel molecular weight from electrophoresis.	Download Gel Molecular Weight Analyzer app from the page and install the app. This app fits a standard curve to relate the known molecular weights of proteins in a set of standards (y-axis) to their relative migration (x-axis), and estimates molecular weights of unknow proteins. Features include: Define a lane of standard sample image Detect bands and mark their positions or mark them manually Fit a standard curve from the standard sample Calculate molecular weight of unknown sample by the regression equation

Adjust height of worksheet label row for output columns

After analysis is done, there are long column comments long names in output columns.

In the past, we auto resized the column width to fit such info.

In Origin 2019b, by default we adjust height of column label row to avoid very wide output columns.

Use @RCW=1 to rollback the old behavior.

In column B, enter formula IsEmpty(A) for rows from 1 to 10. row 5-10 will be filled with 1. When concatenating two string columns, use longest data to set the range. E.g. if there are 5 rows of data in column A, while 10 rows of data in column B. Set column C's formula as A$+B$. Origin uses the 1st vector to decide the calculation range so only 1st 5 rows was conconcated. Origin 2019b, usea the longest rwo to decide range.
