Bivariate Linear Correlation

If y is an exponential function of x, then ln y (or log y) is a linear function of x. Procedure: Transform the y-values to ln y (or log y). Perform linear regression using the ln y-values in place of the original y-values (page 2 of computer printout). Result is a linear equation for the ln of the predicted y: ln y' = a + b(x) (nos. 16 & 15 on ... ................
