AP Statistics 4.1 Modeling Nonlinear Data
Learning Objective • Create scatter plots of non linear data • Transform nonlinear data to use for prediction • Create residual plots
Exponential Function: • Power function:
Exponential Growth • To show exponential growth: • We look for a common ratio
Compare Linear versus Exponential Growth • Exponential- increases by a ratio • Linear- increases by a constant (slope)
Algebraic Properties of Logarithms • ** • The rules for logarithms are • #1) log (AB)= log A + log B • #2) log(A/B)= log A - log B • #3) log x^p = p log x
How do we make predictions in the exponential growth model? • Linearize our data (take log y) • If a variable grows exponentially, its logarithm grows linearally. • How do we transform our data back to make predictions?
Power Law Models • When does a power law become linear? How? • Take the log x and log y • How do we make prediction in power law models?
Linear • Plot graph: L₁, L₂ • Plot residuals: L₁, L₃ • stat/calc/8/L₁,L₂,Y₁ ỳ=a+bx
Exponential • Plot graph: L₁, L₃ • stat/calc/8/L₁,L₃,Y₁ • Plot residuals: L₁, L₄
To predict: type in calc (10^(Y₁(x)) • To write out your new equation:
Power • Plot graph: L₃, L₄ • Stat/calc/8: L₃, L₄, Y₁ • Plot Residuals: L₃, L₅
