Tutorials

Each tutorial teaches one analysis on one example: its structure, its measured data and the steps from a first calculation to a fitted model and its report. Every example has a tutorial for each interface, and they teach the same steps in the same order:

The table lists every tutorial, grouped into sections, with the example's tags. See Experiment types and labels for the tags.

Understand the reference

An example may compare a calculated curve or fitted values with FullProf or another reference. Read what is being compared: identical model settings, a program-specific model, or a labelled regression result answer different questions.

Use fit quality to interpret agreement factors. The references validate the paths and cases they cover; they do not establish every possible model or interface operation.
