Graphical interactive basis function selection is provided. A presented criterion fit graph includes a curve for each parameter value of predefined parameter values. Each curve shows a fit criterion value as a function of a number of locations values. A best fit graph is presented next to the presented criterion fit graph. The best fit graph includes location lines, wherein a location line is defined at each location defined for a determined best fit basis function, and a best fit function curve that is a plot of a response variable value computed as a function of an explanatory variable value using the best fit basis function. A first location line of the location lines is moved to a different location value. Computations are repeated replacing the location value associated with the first location line with the different location value to update the criterion fit graph and the best fit graph.
