Dear help-list,
I would like to perform a linear regression on the log10 of the two
vectors ov.mag.min and res.600nm. The slope and intercept of the
regression I use to plot a wider range of ov.mag.min in a double log plot.
For a linear regression on only tow points, wouldn't I expect the
results for two.points.min to match pretty exactly res.600nm? It does
not seem to be the case here. I manually calculated the slope and
intercept and got values of -0.71 and 1.5 that seem to work alright.
What is it that I am missing here?
Thanks already for your help,
Kim
ov.mag.min <- c(50, 1000)
res.600nm <- c(2.0, 0.231)
lm.line.min <- lm( log(ov.mag.min,10)
~
log(res.600nm,10)
)
intercept.min <- lm.line.min$coefficients[1]
slope.min <- lm.line.min$coefficients[2]
two.points.min <- log(ov.mag.min,10)
round(res.600nm,2) ==
round(10^(two.points.min*slope.min+intercept.min),2)
round(res.600nm,2)
round(10^(two.points.min*-0.71+1.5),2)
