Graphing Paired-Variable Statistical Data

Drawing an Exponential Regression Graph ( y = a·eb·x)

Exponential regression can be used when y is proportional to the exponential function of x. The normal exponential regression formula is y = a · eb·x. If we obtain the logarithms of both sides, we get ln(y) = ln(a) + b·x. Next, if we say that Y = ln(y) and A = In(a), the formula corresponds to the linear regression formula Y = A + b·x.

SClassPad Operation

Start the graphing operation from the Statistics application’s Graph window or List window.

From the Graph window

Tap [Calc] [Exponential Reg] [OK] [OK] .

From the List window

Tap [SetGraph][Setting...], or '.

·

On the Set StatGraphs dialog box that appears, configure a StatGraph setup with the setting shown below, and then tap [Set].

Type: ExpR

Tap xto draw the graph.

The following is the exponential regression model formula in this case.

y= a · eb·x

a : regression coefficient

b : regression constant term

r : correlation coefficient

r2 : coefficient of determination

MSe : mean square error

1n

MSe = n 2 i=1 (ln(yi) – (ln(a) + b·xi ))2
