Rather than using the base-e exponential model (Eq. 17.22), a common alternative is to use a base-10 model,
When used for curve fitting, this equation yields identical results to the base-e version, but the value of the exponent parameter

- As an industrial engineer, you intend to use linear trend (or linear regression) method to solve a forecasting problem. You have decided to use the equation of y = m(x) + c to establish the relationship between the sales (y) and the related month (x). It is known that 8 consecutive months data (Jan to Aug) were used and they resulted to the following parameter values of m = 320 and c = 1017. Using the regression technique, estimate the percentage of sales improvement from December this year to June next year.arrow_forwardAbout supervised machine learning, in the context of Linear Regression; Decision tree; Logistics Regresion; Randon forest and neural network, which metrics should be used to know if a classification model is good and why use them? What about regression, what metrics are used to say how good the model is? What is the best for each case?arrow_forwardFrom the following test data estimate the values of Ks and Kefor the filter drag model.

- A one-fourth scale model of a car is to be tested in a wind tunnel. The conditions of the actual car are V = 45 km/h and T = 0°C and the air temperature in the wind tunnel is 20°C. In order to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype, the wind tunnel is run at 180 km/h. The properties of air at 1 atm and 0°C: ? = 1.292 kg/m3, ? = 1.338 × 10−5 m2/s. The properties of air at 1 atm and 20°C: ? = 1.204 kg/m3, ? = 1.516 × 10−5 m2/s. If the average drag force on the model is measured to be 70 N, the drag force on the prototype is (a) 66.5 N (b) 70 N (c) 75.1 N (d ) 80.6 N (e) 90 Narrow_forwardProblem statement : A simple flow-measurement device for streams and channels is a notch, of angle α, cut into the side of a dam, as shown in Fig. P5.69. The volume flow Q depends only on α, the acceleration of gravity g, and the height δ of the upstream water surface above the notch vertex. Tests of a model notch, of angle α = 55°, yield the following flow rate data: δ, cm: 10 20 30 40 Q, m3/h: 8 47 126 263 Part (A) - Find a dimensionless correlation for the data. (b) Use the model data to predict the flow rate of a prototype notch, also of angle α = 55°, when the upstream height δ is 3.2 m.arrow_forwardSolve problem 4 in the correlation and regression handout.

- A special case of a linear function occurs when we talk about direct variation. If the quantities x and y are related by an equation y − kx for some constant k ± 0, we say that y varies directly as x, or y is proportional to x. The constant k is called the constant of proportionality. Equivalently, we can write fsxd − kx, where f is a linear function whose graph has slope k and y-intercept 0. (a) As dry air moves upward, it expands and cools. If the ground temperature is 20°C and the temperature at a height of 1 km is 10°C, express the temperature T (in °C) as a function of the height h (in kilometers), assuming that a linear model is appropriate. (b) Draw the graph of the function in part (a). What does the slope represent?(c) What is the temperature at a height of 2.5 km?arrow_forwardQ=What is the importance of regression analysis in transportation engineering?

If not, give at least one example from the real world-that illustrates what else could cause a high correlation.arrow_forward
- Fluid runs through a drainage pipe with a 10-cm radius and a length of 30m (3000cm). The velocity of the fluid gradually decreases from the center of the pipe toward the edges as a result of friction with the walls of the pipe.
