LnReg

Uses the least-squares algorithm and transformed
values ln(

x

) and

y

to fit the model equation:

y

=

a

+

b

ln(

x

)

Logistic

Uses the least-squares algorithm to fit the model
equation:

y=a/(1+b*

e

^(c*x))+d

MedMed

Uses the median-median line (resistant line)
technique to calculate summary points x1, y1, x2,
y2, x3, and y3, and fits the model equation:

y

=

ax

+

b

where

a

is the slope and

b

is the y-intercept.

PowerReg

Uses the least-squares algorithm and transformed
values ln(

x

) and ln(

y

) to fit the model equation:

y=ax

b

QuadReg

Uses the least-squares algorithm to fit the second-
order polynomial:

y

=

ax2

+

bx

+

c

For three data points, the equation is a polynomial
fit; for four or more, it is a polynomial regression.
At least three data points are required.

QuartReg

Uses the least-squares algorithm to fit the fourth-
order polynomial:

y

=

ax4

+

bx3

+

cx2

+

dx

+

e

For five data points, the equation is a polynomial
fit; for six or more, it is a polynomial regression. At
least five data points are required.

SinReg

Uses the least-squares algorithm to fit the model
equation:

y=a sin(bx+c)+d
