Steps for calculating other regression models
1.
To find the best-fitting quadratic curve (y = ax
2
+ bx + c) for the data, press
STAT D (REG) 0 4 (Rg_x
2
) and press ENTER .
2.
To view the overlay of the regression curve and the scatter diagram, press
Y= CL 2ndF VARS H (STAT) ENTER B (REGEQN) 1 (RegEqn) and
press GRAPH . The following overlay will be displayed.
Model of best fit
1.
Notice, the r
2
value for the quadratic regression model is about .9337.
2.
Whereas the r
2
value for the exponential regression model was .9786.
3.
The exponential regression model (with the r
2
value closer to 1) is considered
the better-fitting model. The exponential regression model even fits better
than the linear model with an r
2
value of .8553.
4.
Continue this analysis with other regression models.
