fitting points using least squares with the curve ab^x
Added by Mohamed El Amine B.
Step 1
First, we need to transform the equation into a linear form. The equation ab^x is non-linear, but if we take the logarithm of both sides, we get log(y) = log(a) + x*log(b), which is a linear equation in terms of log(y), log(a), and log(b). Show more…
