Pairs of values - finding their relationship

[atferrari]

Given the following pairs of values:

6 - 6,1399
7 - 6,6319
8 - 7,0898
9 - 7,5199
10 - 7,9267

Is there any effective generic procedure to find out the mathematical relationship between values of each pair?

This have been puzzling me for years and if it exists I do not how to Google for it in English.

I am affraid that the answer is maybe almost in front of my eyes.**broken link removed**

Just in case please note I have not generated those values but I suspect they all follow the same law.

Hi,

Are you perhaps thinking of "correlation"? You can find much on the web about that.

It seems it has to do...

Hi, Are you perhaps thinking of "correlation"?

It might be. It seems related to my question. This is one case where you do not know what to look for.

Based on answers I got in other forums I am working on this (to me) new subject.

Gracias Al.

Hi again,


Well, you really have to know what you want for anyone to really help with this. "Correlation" (ie statistics) and "Curve Fitting" are two possible ways to show the relationship between your numbers, so if you dont know then perhaps you can tell us what you intend to use this info for or what you are trying to accomplish.

atferrari,

As BobW pointed out, your answer should be found in your cross post. Your link does not elucidate your question. Your country uses a comma to designate a decimal point. It would have been helpful you mentioned that. I had to look it up in the link below.

When I post here, I use the "." to denote decimals.

I've been exposed to the different uses for more than 30 years, including imperial units which were quite common in my daily work. By mistake I left the commas.

What link of mine are you actually talking about?

atferrari,

When I first opened up your post, I got this link **broken link removed** . I still do when I select a post reply. It appears that the problem is in the software that runs this forum, and is not your fault. My apologies.
