Matlab Question

At the energy utilization of the larvae, the following data is used to determine a relationship between W and R. W is weight of larvae and R is oxygen consumption of larvae. Find the least-squares fit of a straight line, standard error and coefficient of determination. (R vs. W) For biological reasons, a relationship must exist between R and W as R = bW^a. Find the least-square fit of a straight line, standard error and coefficient of determination by using following linearization equation. (InR vs. InW) ln R = ln B +a ln W Plot data and both fitting lines in a same graph for comparison. Which method provides a better fitting equation?

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

   

%Define values

n = 29;

sigmaWR = 192.2276;

sigmaW= 61.219;

sigmaR = 49.7;

sigmaWsq = 258.0468;

sigmaRsq = 154.2738;

%Define formula for constants

b1= ((n*sigmaWR) - (sigmaW*sigmaR))/((n*sigmaWsq)-(sigmaW.^2))

b0 = ((sigmaR/n) - (b1*(sigmaW)/n))

%Display equation

disp('Least squares equation ')

fprintf('R = %f+ %f*W',b0,b1)

%Define formulas

SSww = sigmaWsq - ((sigmaW).^2)/n;

SSrr = sigmaRsq - ((sigmaR).^2)/n;

SSwr = sigmaWR - ((sigmaW*sigmaR)/n);

SST = SSrr

SSR = (SSwr).^2 / SSww

%Compute SSE

SSE = SST - SSR

%Compute and display standard error estimate

disp('Standard error estimate')

Se = sqrt(SSE/(n-2))

Sample Output:

>> az1

b1 =

    0.6778

b0 =

    0.2829

Least squares equation

R = 0.282939+ 0.677809*W

SST =

   69.0983

SSR =

   59.1801

SSE =

    9.9182

Standard error estimate

Se =

    0.6061
