Drawing a Power Regression Graph (
y
=
a
·
x
b
)
Power regression can be used when
y
is proportional to the power of
x
. The normal power
regression formula is
y
=
a
·
x
b
. If we obtain the logarithms of both sides, we get ln(
y
) = ln(
a
)
+
b
· ln(
x
). Next, if we say that X = ln(
x
), Y = ln(
y
), and A = ln(
a
), the formula corresponds to
the linear regression formula Y = A +
b·
X.
