The following table includes experimental data for a stress strain test of a granular material: a. Use the saturation-growth-rate model to fit the data using linear regression to represent stress as function of strain. Find the coefficient of determination for this fit in the transformed space and in the original space. b. Fit the data to a fourth order polynomial. Note that the model should ensure zero stress at zero stress. Write down the resulting polynomial. Find the coefficient of determination for this fit. c. Fit the data to the following nonlinear function: y = a_0 x^a_1 e^a-2 x. Use nonlinear regression to define the function. Find the coefficient of determination for this fit. d. Plot the original data along with the three fits from parts (a) through (c). Comment on the results
