I Logarithmic Regression Graph
Logarithmic regression expresses y as a logarithmic function of x. The standard logarithmic
regression formula is
y = a + b × In x, so if we say that X = In x, the formula corresponds to
linear regression formula
y = a + bX.

The following is the logarithmic regression model formula.
y = a + b·ln x
a
..............regression constant term
b..............regression coefficient
I Exponential Regression Graph
Exponential regression expresses y as a proportion of the exponential function of x. The
standard exponential regression formula is
y = a × e
bx
, so if we take the logarithms of both
sides we get In y = In a + bx. Next, if we say Y = In y, and A = In a, the formula corresponds to
linear regression formula Y = A +
bx.
