Based on the historical shoreline data $($Source: NOAA$)$ with the plotted

shoreline positions, transect and baseline $($Fig$.1),$ compute the shoreline

change using the following methods;

a$.$ Linear Regression Rate $($LLR$)$

Estimate the shoreline change rate by plotting the shoreline positions with

respect to time $($Distance from baseline, $y-$axis, vs Time, $x-$axis$).$

Generate a linear trend and the slope of the equation describes the rate.

b$.$ End Point Rate $($EPR$)$

Given the sample data in Fig$\mathrm{.}1,$ estimate the shoreline change rate using

the EPR equation,

EPR$=\frac{distancein\text{m}\text{e}\text{t}\text{e}\text{r}\text{s}}{\text{t}\text{i}\text{m}\text{e}\text{b}\text{e}\text{t}\text{w}\text{e}\text{e}\text{n}\text{t}\text{h}\text{e}\text{o}\text{l}\text{d}\text{e}\text{s}\text{t}an\text{m}\text{o}\text{s}\text{t}\text{r}\text{e}\text{c}\text{e}\text{n}\text{t}\text{s}\text{h}\text{o}\text{r}\text{e}\text{l}\text{i}\text{n}\text{e}}$
