How to get the rgression line tangent to the curve

1 view (last 30 days)
I have a sample code which allows us to compute the correlation dimension as follows.
function [obj] = correldim(X)
N = numel(X);
arrayDist = zeros(N, N);
for i = 1:N
x1 = X(i);
for j = 1:N
x2 = X(j);
arrayDist(i,j) = abs(x1-x2);
end
end
Nr = 20;
r = linspace(0.0005, 0.015, Nr);
for k = 1:numel(r);
countk = find(arrayDist >= r(k));
cr(k) = numel(countk);
end
logr = log10(r);
logcd = log10(cr);
hold on
plot(logr, logcd)
[dimc, se]= polyfit(logr, logcd, 1);
f = polyval(dimc,logr);
plot(logr, f)
hold off
xlabel('log\epsilon');
ylabel('logC(\epsilon)');obj.cd = dimc(1);
box on
end
I noticed that while plotting the regression line using ployfit with order 1, the line crosses the curve. It looks to me the coefficient of regression line is not feasible. Could please help me how to do in exact way. I have attached the figure and code for your reference.
Thanks

You forgot to give us x. Make it easy for us to run your code and help you, not hard.

Thank you for your response
X = load('Data_1.txt');
X = X/sum(X);
[obj] = correldim(X)
I hope it works for you to help me. Thank you for your kind cooperation

If I remember correctly (and from the Wikipedia article on Correlation dimension), you don’t need to plot the log-log regression line.
You are doing the regression to estimate the correlation dimension, and the correlation dimension is the slope of the log-log regression, or dimc(1).

If so, that's fine. But I am seeking for generic one. If you have some clues, kindly let me know. Thanks for your response.
