STL: what was the line you fit to the log log of the known mersenne's
exponents, and what was the error (r^2) ?
I'm assuming r^2 is like, the amount of error for a given line fitting a
set of data.
When I fit an exponential line to the 1st 37 mersenne prime's exponents
(since I believe that 6972593 is actually the 39th, but have no proof, so
I figured I'd leave it out), the line I got was y=1.7661e^0.301x (hope I
wrote that right), and r^2=0.9925.
I have a feeling the log log thing will actually be more useful.. easier
to predict a straight line than an exponential curve.
