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.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

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
