Graphing Paired-Variable Statistical Data

Drawing a 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.

u ClassPad 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 G.

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

Type: ExpR

Tap yto 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
