Dear Alan and Oscar Thank you.
I'll try to be more accurate: What Oscar wrote is exactly the situation: > "I'm going to assume that you have some data that gives paired > measurements of two quantities e.g. (x1, y1), (x2, y2), ... (xn, yn). > You want to find parameters a, b, and k so that y = a+b*exp(k*x) is a > good fit to your data. The problem is that there is no unique > definition of a "good" fit." > > > I will install scipy. > > So your first step is probably to install scipy if you haven't already > and have a look at its optimize module.

It's a variation , of a physical value ("y") in time ("x") (while cooling) , you have the data measured (xi, yi), but not from x=0. I need to extrapolate "y" to "x=0", by that equation. I know the very basics about statistics, and a beginner in python, I ve chosen python to work with. Regards, Igor
