Abstract

We propose a simple differential method and a refined Roonizi’s method to fit single Gaussian function and integro-differential method to fit two Gaussian functions. The conventional method for fitting Gaussian functions is an iterative procedure. The proposed methods, being linear in estimated parameters, alleviate the problem of critical initial guess needed in iterative procedures. The experimental results confirm the methods perform better or in a competitive manner compared to Caruana’s, Guo’s, Roonizi’s and FAS algorithm for single Gaussian case. It is found that the proposed integro-differential method to fit two Gaussian functions is stable and identifies Gaussian parameters in an efficient way.
