How to find a non linear model that fits a set of coordinates

I'm trying to find a function that satisfies the following coordinates:



$$(1, 1)$$$$(2, 0.84)$$$$(4, 1.5)$$$$(31, 4.1)$$$$(44, 5)$$



The x parameters are always discrete and the function doesn't need to be exact but as close as possible although the first three coordinates are the most important ones.

The function is not asymptotic.
The growth for large numbers should be really slow and should be configurable if possible.



It supposed to look like this:
enter image description here



What is the best method for finding this function?



I've tried to play a bit with desmos but I don't have a specific way to approach this problem.

    You should give us information about the expected asymptotic behavior, i.e. orders of growth for small and for large values of $x$, based on physical arguments. Otherwise trying "any similar model" is cheap empiricism.

Without more information I can't find the best solution (need information about minimum value, behavior as the function approaches infinity, whether it is asymptotic or not), but your graph seems like it is not asymptomatic as $xtoinfty$, and it seems like the function



$$ f(x) = frac3x^3/24sqrtx^2-1 $$



Fits quite well.

  • @Drxxd since the data points aren't asymptotic as $x$ goes to infinity, a good guess will be that of the graph $sqrtx$. But then it goes to infinity rapidly as $x$ goes to zero, so we want to multiply by something along the lines of $1/x$, but we want the function to go to one as it goes to infinity, so something like $1/sqrt1-1/x^2$ works. Then we are left with the constant term which can be found by just testing different values.

  • @Drxxd If you value the first two data points more, just decrease the constant term. U might also consider raising the power of the $sqrtx$ term (say $x^0.6$).
