STAT404 - L14 - How To Fit A Exponential Curve EXAMPLE 2

This document provides steps to fit an exponential curve to data. It shows how to transform a non-linear exponential equation into a linear form by taking the log of both sides. This allows using linear regression to calculate values for a and b by setting up and solving two normal equations. It then converts back to the original exponential form to obtain the final fitted equation. The example fits an exponential curve to sample data and shows the calculations step-by-step.

How to fit an Exponential Curve

Example:
Fit an exponential curve Y  a X b to data given below:

X Y

1 2.98
2 4.26
3 5.21
4 6.10
5 6.80
6 7.50
2
Transformation of given equation
Non-linear form Linear form

Y  aX b

How …. ?

Taking log on both sides…

3
Now it is linear form …
Y   A  bX 
1st normal equation: 2nd normal equation:
(Apply  on both sides) (Multiply with X and then
Apply  on both sides)

4
Required Calculation

(Log X)*(Log Y)
X Y Log Y Log X (Log X)^2
1 2.98 2.98 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000
2 4.26 4.26 0.3010 0.0906 0.1895
3 5.21 5.21 0.4771 0.2276 0.3420
4 6.10 6.10 0.6021 0.3625 0.4728
5 6.80 6.80 0.6990 0.4886 0.5819
6 7.50 7.50 0.7782 0.6055 0.6809
Total - 4.3133 2.8574 1.7749 2.2672

Solving Normal Eqs…find b
Y   nA  bX     
X Y   AX   b  X      

6
Putting “b” … get value of “A”
Now we put the value of b = 0.515 in Eq1 and solve as

Y   nA  bX 

7
Converting back …
A  log a
 a  anti  log( A)
