Creating a Plane of best fit from points

Is there a way to make a plane of best fit using matplotlib? I'm trying to get a smooth curved plane, but I'm unsure on how to do so.

My points are arranged as shown in the following image: enter image description here They are quite smooth, except for a few exceptions, which are mostly clear.

My current code is:

from mpl_toolkits import mplot3d
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn import linear_model
plt.style.use('seaborn-poster')

x = np.array([12.5, 10, 9.5, 7.5, 6])
y = np.array([30, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65])
z = np.array([
    [62.13, 55.41, 54.49, 46.46, 42.13],
    [67.11, 59.43, 56.39, 52.64, 41.89],
    [82.89, 61.13, 57.30, 50.75, 43.02],
    [73.31, 60.57, 57.17, 52.64, 41.73],
    [78.11, 62.92, 63.40, 58.08, 48.69],
    [83.96, 65.19, 60.22, 53.57, 44.22]
])


X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z = z

x1, y1, z1 = X.flatten(), Y.flatten(), Z.flatten()

X_data = np.array([x1, y1]).reshape((-1, 2))
Y_data = z1

reg = linear_model.LinearRegression().fit(X_data, Y_data)
a1, a2, c = float(reg.coef_[0]), float(reg.coef_[1]), float(reg.intercept_)

fig = plt.figure(figsize = (9,9))
ax = plt.axes(projection='3d')
ax.grid()

ax.plot_surface(X, Y, z)

ax.scatter(X, Y, z, c = 'r', s = 50)
ax.set_title('Figure 1.21 - Plot of Final results')

ax.set_xlabel('Radius of Ball (mm)', labelpad=20)
ax.set_ylabel('Height from which ball was dropped (cm)', labelpad=20)
ax.set_zlabel('Diameter of ripple (mm)', labelpad=20)

plt.show()

I have the a1, a2 and c values using linear regression but how do I plot them? Is linear regression going to give the right sort of result for this graph? I'm quite new to matplotlib, so sorry if this seems obvious.

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...

How to show number of registered users in Laravel based on usertype?

i'm trying to display data from the database in the admin dashboard i used this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count(); echo $users; ?> and i have successfully get the correct data from the database but what if i want to display a specific data for example in this user table there is "usertype" that specify if the user is normal user or admin i want to user the same code above but to display a specific usertype i tried this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count()->WHERE usertype =admin; echo $users; ?> but it didn't work, what am i doing wrong? source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68199726/how-to-show-number-of-registered-users-in-laravel-based-on-usertype
