Dear R community! I am new to R and would be very grateful for any kind of help. I am a PhD student and need to fit a model to an electricity load profile of a household (curve with two peaks). I was thinking of looking if a polynomial of 4th order, a sinus/cosinus combination or a combination of 3 parabels fits the data best. I have problems with the sinus/cosinus regression: Thanks a lot, Marianne
