  1. Chapter 4: More about Relationships Between Two Variables

  2. 4.1 – Transforming to Achieve Linearity Exponential Growth

  3. Not all data can be expressed with a linear model.

  4. PROBLEM! We cannot use least-squares regression for nonlinear data because least-squares regression depends upon correlation, which only measures the strength of linear relationships. SOLUTION! Transform the data into a linear set, then use the least-squares regression to determine the best fitting line for the transformed data. Finally, do a reverse transformation equation which will model our original nonlinear data.

  5. Properties of Logarithms 1. log ab = log a + log b a b 2. log = log a – log b 3. log xp = p log x Remember: log has a base of 10 and natural logs (ln) have a base of e. It doesn’t matter which one you use.

  6. Linearizing Exponential Functions: We want to write an exponential function of the form y = abx as a linear model. (where x, y are variables and a,b are constants) y = abx log y = log (abx) log y = log a + log bx log y = log a + xlog b

  7. CONCLUSIONS: 1. If the graph of (x, y) is exponential, then the graph of (x, log y) is linear. 2. If the graph of (x, log y) is linear, then the graph of (x, y) is exponential.

  8. Example #1 Transform the exponential data to a linear model using logs and then natural logs. y = 5(2)x ln y = ln (5  2x) log y = log (5  2x) ln y = ln 5 + log 2x log y = log 5 + log 2x ln y = ln 5+ xln 2 log y = log 5+ xlog 2 ln y = 1.6094+ 0.6931x log y = 0.69897+ 0.3010x

  9. Example #2 Convert the equation back to an exponential function. ln y = 16 + 9x e e y = e(16 + 9x) y = e(16) e(9x) y = e(16) e(9)x y = 8,886,110.521  8103.0839x

  10. Example #3 Convert the equation back to an exponential function. log y = 4 + 2x 10 10 y = 10(4 + 2x) y = 10(4) 10(2x) y = 10(4) 10(2)x y = 10,000  100x

  14. Exponential to Linear Change: 1. The ratio of the y’s should be fairly constant 2. Graph x and y and look at the pattern 3. Calculate the transformed linear model 4. Describe the r value and the residual plot

  16. D: Positive, as year increases, population increases F: Nonlinear S: Strong

  17. 2. Describe the pattern of change and find the percent of change for each y (ratio of y’s). The ratios of the y’s are fairly consistent, suggesting an exponential model

  18. 3. Take the log of the y-values and make a new scatterplot.

  19. 4. Find the least squares regression line of the transformed data. log y = 2.27095 + 0.0156432x OR Log(Population) = 2.27095 + 0.0156432(Year)

  20. 5. Find the value of r and describe its meaning. r = 0.999999 D: Positive S: Strong

  21. 6. Construct the residual plot and describe its meaning. No pattern, so good linear model

  22. 7. Perform the inverse transformation to express y-hat as an exponential equation. 10 10 y = 10(2.27095 + 0.0156432x) y = 10(2.27095) 10(0.0156432x) y = 10(2.27095) 10(0.0156432)x y = 186.6162  1.0367x

  37. 4.1 – Transforming to Achieve Linearity – Power Model

  38. A power model is in the form y = axp. To transform this equation into a linear model you must apply the log transformation to both variables x and y. y = axp log y = log (axp) log y = log a + log xp log y = log a + plog x How is this different than exponential functions? You have to take the log of both x and y to make a linear model.

  39. Example #1 Find the LSRL by taking the logs and then the natural logs. y = 4x5 y = 4x5 log y = log (4x5) ln y = ln (4x5) log y = log 4 + log x5 ln y = ln 4 + ln x5 log y = log 4 + 5log x ln y = ln 4 + 5ln x log y = 0.6021 + 5log x ln y = 1.3863 + 5ln x

  40. Example #2 Convert the equation back to a power equation. ln y = -5 + 9ln x e e y = e(-5 + 9lnx) y = e(-5) e(9lnx) y = e(-5) e(lnx)9 y = 0.0067x9

  41. Example #2 Convert the equation back to a power equation. log y = 0.5 + 2log x 10 10 y = 10(0.5 + 2logx) y = 10(0.5) 10(2logx) y = 10(0.5) 10(logx)2 y = 3.1623x2

  46. D: Positive, as distance increases, period increases F: Nonlinear S: Strong

  47. 2. Describe the pattern of change and find the percent of change for each y (ratio of y’s). Ratio of y’s are not similar, perhaps not exponential

  48. 3. Transform the data to a linear model by taking the log of the x’s and the y’s. Make a sketch of the new scatterplot.

  49. 4. Find the least squares regression line of the transformed data. log y = 0.002916 + 1.49627x OR log(Period) = 0.002916 + 1.49627(Distance)
