Chapter Four Day Two Power Models
Homework • P. 285 11,12,13
Review of Exponential Models • Show that if y = a*bx taking then there is a linear relationship between x and log(y).
Review of Exponential Models • Make scatterplot and note very strong non-linear form. • Take the log of the y-values and put the results in L3. • Do a linreg on L1 vs. L3 • Write log(y) = bx + a • Untransform to get final exponential model
Example • Untransform log(y) = ax + b
Power Models y = a* xb • Hierarchy of Powers • y = ax linear • Y = ax2 quadratic • Y = ax3 cubic • Y = ax4 quadratic • Y = ax5 5th degree • For large x axb < abx for any b
Example • Show that if y = abx then there is a linear relationship between log x and log y.
Example • Untransform log y = alog(x) + b
Steps to Making a Power Model • Plot data and note nonlinear form • Put log of the x-values in L3 • Put log of y –values in L4 • Do linreg on log x vs log y • Write log(y) = a(log x) +b • Untransform to get final power model
Example - Planets • Find a model that predicts a planet’s period of revolution using the distance from the sun as an explanatory variable.
Try an exponential model – linear relationship between x and log y
Try a Power Model – Linear Relationship between log(x) and log(y)
Untransform linear log-log Model to get final power model • ln(period) = .000254 + 1.50 ln(distance)
Evaluating a Model • Comment on r2 • Comment on residual Plot
