Regression problem: using 4 data points in Table 1(below), we will find the best fit.
\table[[X,1,3,4,5],[Y,2,160,510,1250]]
Table 1: For problem 3
a)(3 points) Find the best linear fit so that Y=ax+b has minimal least squares. To receive credit you must show yourself applying the analytic expressions for a and b from class.
b)(0 points) Clearly that's a bad fit (plot it to see for yourself, but not needed for the assignment). Make a guess as to what power of x fits the curve following a Y=axbft?
c)(4 points) Apply the power-law version of linear regression to find the best fit estimate for a and b. Note that the values will not be perfectly clean, but you must show yourself applying the appropriate formulae and solving for the values.
