onlineregression12:   One-predictor-variable nonlinear regression (max input 3000 characters)    ⇒   y = f(x)

Formulas

y= axb         log(y)= log(a) + b[log(x)]

u= log(x)        v= log(y)         v= log(a) + bu

v= α + βu         log(a)= α        b= β        a= 10α

β= [Σ(uv)-(ΣuΣv)/n]/{Σ(u2)-[(Σu)2/n]}

α= [Σv-(βΣu)]/n        y = 10αxβ
