k Logarithmic Regression Graph
Logarithmic regression expresses y as a logarithmic function of x . The standard logarithmic
regression formula is y = a + b × In x , so if we say that X = In x , the formula corresponds to
linear regression formula y = a + b X.

The following is the logarithmic regression model formula.
y = a + b ·ln x
a
..............regression constant term
b .............. regression coefficient
k Exponential Regression Graph
Exponential regression expresses y as a proportion of the exponential function of x . The
standard exponential regression formula is y = a × e
bx
, so if we take the logarithms of both
sides we get In y = In a + bx . Next, if we say Y = In y , and A = In a , the formula corresponds to
linear regression formula Y = A + bx .
